Ideal age for vision correction surgery

Dr. Gergana Stoyanova, an ophthalmologist, announced that laser vision correction has become the most common operation today, but at what age should this operation be performed?

According to the doctor, a good result of vision correction surgery depends on a number of factors. One of the most important conditions for success is the patient's age, so it is better to do laser correction on time.

The specialist points out that vision correction surgery is usually performed on people who have had stable myopia for two years. It is best to have this surgery at the age of 20-25 because this is the ideal age at which laser vision correction surgery should be performed.

According to her, undergoing laser vision correction surgery at an early age may require additional vision correction surgery later. In general, the important issue here is the diagnosis of the condition, because if a person wants to get rid of glasses and contact lenses, he must undergo periodic examinations at least 3-4 times within two years. Then, based on his health condition, the doctor chooses the appropriate method for performing vision correction surgery.
