Question: Is it safe and recommended to perform Lasik Eye Surgery at the age of 57?
Answers:

It can be done. There are some things to consider though. First of all LASIK does not address the issue of focusing from distance to near. If that is your only problem, LASIK is probably not for you. If you have been nearsighted all your life and finally want to do something about it, LASIK may be an option. Be aware that all LASIK can do for you is make you see like one of your 57 year old friends that didn't need glasses until recently. Finally be aware that you may not be very far from developing cataracts. Cataract surgery can accomplish the same things for you that LASIK can but it will be covered by your insurance.

I think Lasik for Refractive Surgery is inappropriate for you at that age coz the presbyopia is developing. Even though you do Lasik, you still need a pair of spectacles (for the nearsightedness vision). Regards.
