Dr. Ghergana Stoyanova, an eye medicine and surgery specialist, announced that laser vision correction has become one of the most common procedures today. However, at what age should this surgery be performed? According to the doctor, the success of vision correction surgery depends on several factors, with the patient's age being one of the most important. Therefore, it is best to undergo laser correction at the appropriate time.
The specialist noted that laser vision correction is usually performed on individuals whose myopia has been stable for two years. The ideal age for this procedure is between 20 and 25 years, as this is considered the optimal age to undergo laser vision correction. She mentioned that having the procedure at a younger age may later require an additional surgery for vision correction.
Overall, an important aspect is the diagnosis of the condition. If a person wishes to eliminate the need for glasses and contact lenses, they should undergo periodic examinations at least 3-4 times over two years. Based on the individual's health condition, the doctor will then choose the appropriate method for the vision correction procedure.
