I had lasik done when I was 21, my roommate had it when she was 24, and J had it when he was 27, so it is definitely not age restricted (also, I had it done by one of the pioneers of the technique, so presumably he wasn't playing fast and loose). I am pretty sure it has more to do with how long your prescription has been stable.

I'm now 7 years out from having it done (yowza btw), had my first eye exam in about 6 years this past summer, and my vision has gone to about 20/30, instead of the 20/15 I had post-surgery. I totally know what you mean in terms of it being a miracle, that is exactly how I felt. I was similar to your husband; I had -9 prescriptions and astigmatism, had been wearing glasses since I was about 5, and it really seemed miraculous that in 15 minutes I could fix all that. It was actually when I woke up the next morning and realized that I no longer needed to worry about glasses or contacts that it hit me fully. I also don't have any after effects, except for some minor dry eye.

I hope your prescription stabilizes soon, fingers crossed.
