Is Lasik Surgery Recommended At 68?

Hi, I am a 68 year old female who lost her first pair of expensive glasses kayaking, yesterday I crushed my second pair underfoot. My husband thinks I should have lasik surgery because I don't seem to get along with or see well with glasses. I have three nieces and nephews who have had it done and loved it. Is it an option for me? Thanks.

Age is no bar for lasik surgery. But before that you should ge your suitability for surgery checked by surgeon.Other contraindication should be ruled out.
