There is a definite reason why most doctors in Los Angeles prefer not to perform refractive laser vision correction on those under 30. This is because the human eye changes drastically from birth to maturity. Individuals born with vision complications may find they disappear as the years go by, while in others, problems may not manifest until the late teens or early 20s. Doctors generally prefer to wait until an individual's eyes have completely stabilized, which can usually be confirmed by a consistent prescription for two consecutive years.

There are, however, some procedures that may benefit younger adults with severe vision problems. One such experimental technique is known as refractive lens exchange (RLE) and might be able to help younger adults who are otherwise ineligible for refractive vision correction. RLE involves completely replacing the defective natural lens with an artificial one and works best on patients with severe hyperopia, or farsightedness.
