Looks like ICL isn't generally available after the age of 45.

> ICL isn't generally available after the age of 45

It’s essentially cataract surgery, so not for safety reasons.

FDA doesn’t recommend it past 45, I believe, because if you have age-related eye degeneration ICL won’t help where LASIK might and because it’s most studied in the 21 to 45 age group. Would be surprised if a surgeon said no due to age alone.
