    It can be done. I went to do it when I was just 18 years old after graduating from high school, and I was nearsighted at almost 800 degrees, but the surgery was successful. Now, 5 years later, my vision is still very good.

    In addition, there are many students who have undergone surgery with me, and I have never heard of a case of failure, so you can go for the surgery with peace of mind and have your eyes removed as soon as possible. Adulthood is just a relative concept, indicating that your body organs have basically reached a mature state, but each person's specific situation is different, you only need to go to a professional myopia surgery hospital for a comprehensive examination, the doctor will tell you whether your current state is suitable for immediate surgery. In fact, the short-term recovery after surgery only takes about a month, and it can be achieved in one week with normal eye use, and the long-term recovery and eye maintenance are only about a year.

    It's better not to. In fact, after the age of 18, theoretically it has been fully developed, but in practice, the eyes will continue to be affected by the external environment, which leads to the continuous change of vision. When my friend was 35 years old, he used too much computer and wore 200-degree glasses.

    Therefore, once you do a good job at that time, you will still come back if you don't pay attention to it in the future, and it will be even more powerful than before. So it is not recommended that you do it, wait for the job, and then decide when the environment is stable, don't rush for a while, the eyes are a lifelong thing.

    Peers. I am also nearsighted and want to go for surgery as well. However, you don't need to apply for early approval, such as going to military school. If you don't want to go to it, don't do it now. After June this year, the summer vacation is done!

    If you want to apply for the exam in advance, do it right away. Right now. Don't delay at all!

    There will be some time to recover after the surgery!

    It's understandable to be desperate to get your vision back up, but it also needs to be done at the right age to ensure that the surgery achieves the best results and doesn't waste time and money. And for people with myopia, they should also pay attention to eye hygiene in their daily life. Don't overuse your eyes, so that your eyes are in a state of fatigue and dryness for a long time, and protecting your eyes is also the main means to prevent myopia.

    Myopic friends under the age of 18 are usually not suitable for myopia surgery, because minors are still in the period of physical growth and development, the eye conditions are not fully developed, and the refractive power of the eyes may also be unstable. If you blindly undergo surgery, there is a risk that the myopia will increase again, which will affect the effect of surgery. Therefore, usually adolescents under the age of 18 need to wait until they reach adulthood to consider surgery.

    Because adolescents under the age of 18 are in the growth period of the body, the refractive power of the eyes is unstable, and if blind surgery, the vision is very likely to regress after one or two years, which seriously affects the curative effect. Surgery must be in line with the indications. In addition to being at least 18 years old, the so-called "indication" also requires that the undergoing surgery have a stable diopter for nearly two years, and its development rate is not more than 50 degrees per year.

    Our myopia surgery recommendation is for people over 18 years old who have a stable myopia degree in the past year, and the maximum is not more than 50 years old. Because adolescents under the age of 18 are still in the stage of growth and development, there will still be a situation where the eye axis will become longer, and if you undergo myopia surgery when the refractive power is not completely stable, it is more likely to be myopic again after surgery.

    Of course, there are also individual myopic young people around the age of 17-18, in order to go to school, join the army and urgently need to obtain good distance vision, if the eye conditions are better, in the person and their parents can also consider surgery with the knowledge and consent.

    At what age can myopia eye surgery be done?

  13. Anonymous users2024-02-03

    Myopia surgery is being praised by more and more myopia patients, and many myopia patients have joined the ranks of surgical lens removal. However, myopia surgery has a strict preoperative examination, and myopia patients under the age of 18 cannot undergo myopia surgery, which many people do not understand.

    Adolescents under the age of 18 are prone to postoperative regression due to the undefined development of the eyeball, and the eyeball is still in the process of changing, so early intervention of surgery may bring adverse effects.

    Generally, over the age of 18, the development of various organs in the body of adolescents is basically mature, but not everyone's vision is stable. Experts remind patients to see how their myopia has increased in the past two years before surgery, and if the degree of myopia increases steadily within 50 degrees every year, they can consider this type of surgery.

    In addition, children and adolescents with myopia generally cannot undergo myopia surgery because the corneal thickness is not enough. Myopia eye surgery is mainly performed on the cornea, and the thickness of the patient's cornea needs to meet certain requirements.

    Once the occurrence of myopia in adolescents, the degree of myopia will continue to increase every year, and the higher the degree of myopia, the greater the risk of retinal tears, retinal detachment, posterior scleral staphyloma, macular hemorrhage, choroidal neovascularization and other lesions. At the same time, high myopia is also a high incidence of open-angle glaucoma. For adolescent myopia, the first priority is to control the rate of myopia progression.

    However, many parents believe that adolescent myopia patients do not need to care about the prevention and control of myopia, anyway, they can have myopia surgery after the age of 18 and solve all visual health problems once and for all, which is wrong.

    Many myopia surgery patients think that everything is OK after the surgery, but in fact, the successful completion of myopia surgery is only the majority of success, and postoperative care is an important step away from the final success. In order to prevent postoperative infection and reduce postoperative reactions, patients after myopia eye surgery need to be prescribed antibiotics and hormonal eye drops for a period of time. Among them, hormonal eye drops need to be carried out according to the doctor's instructions, and blindly buying some of them may lead to the occurrence of hormonal glaucoma.

    There is still a risk of infection with early surgical incisions, so antibiotic eye drops are needed; In the early days, you need to avoid getting dirty water in your eyes, especially not swimming in the river. In the early stage of myopia surgery, it is necessary to avoid rubbing the eyes vigorously to prevent wound damage. However, for patients who undergo lamellar corneal myopia surgery, it is still necessary to avoid heavy objects hitting the eye (normal people also need to avoid it) or foreign objects from puncturing the cornea.

    It should be reminded that even after myopia surgery, not paying attention to protecting the eyes in the later stage can lead to myopia. The key to myopia is to prevent it in advance, establish a scientific concept of eye protection, pay attention to eye hygiene, use eyes reasonably, control the growth of myopia in time, and don't wait until the degree is getting higher and higher before you start to regret it!

    The best age for myopia eye surgery is between 18 and 45 years old. Adolescents under the age of 18 are in the stage of growth and development, and the first thing is that the eye axis will still be elongated. If such myopic patients blindly undergo myopia eye surgery when the refractive power of the eye is not completely stable, there is a high possibility of myopia after surgery, and the stability of vision after myopia eye surgery cannot be guaranteed.

    Therefore, it is best for teenagers to wait for eye development and myopia to be relatively stable after reaching the age of 18 before undergoing myopia surgery. Of course, there are individual myopic people between the ages of 17 and 18 who urgently need to obtain good distance vision in order to go on to higher education and join the army.

    The second is that those under the age of 18 are still in the stage of vision development, and the adjustment of the eyes is strong, and myopia can be corrected by taking drugs, that is, to reduce the degree of myopia and improve vision. It is generally recommended to take two packs of Vision Nutrients per day, and if you insist on taking it for a period of time, the degree of myopia will be reduced, the vision will be improved, and re-operation can be avoided in adulthood.

    Myopia surgery to correct myopia helps people get rid of the shackles of glasses and get clear vision, but not everyone can correct myopia through surgery. Myopia surgery has certain age limitations. For myopia eye surgery, you must carefully choose the hospital for surgery and prepare for surgery in advance.

    Between the ages of 18-50, as long as you meet the conditions of the preoperative examination of myopia surgery, regardless of the season or time period, you can do myopia surgery, of course, if you come to myopia surgery during winter and summer vacations or ** perimeter vacation, it is better, because the longer the rest time, the more conducive to postoperative recovery.

    What is the appropriate age for myopia surgery, why is myopia surgery between 18 and 50 years old?

    Adolescents under the age of 18 are in the stage of growth and development, and there will still be a condition of elongated eye axis. If such myopic patients blindly undergo excimer laser ** myopia surgery when the refractive power of the eye is not completely stable, the possibility of myopia again after surgery is greater, and the stability of the effect of myopia surgery cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, it is better for adolescents to wait for eye development and myopia to be relatively stable after reaching the age of 18 before undergoing myopia surgery.

    When the human eye reaches the age of 50, the phenomenon of presbyopia often appears, and the current myopia eye surgery can only correct the three types of refractive problems of myopia, astigmatism and farsightedness, and the presbyopia phenomenon cannot be corrected. At this age, myopia surgery cannot correct the problem of presbyopia, but affects the quality of vision.

    In addition to the age limit, the following conditions must be met for whom laser myopia surgery is suitable:

    1. Myopia is within 1400 degrees, astigmatism is within 600, hyperopia is within 600, and the refractive state is relatively stable in the past two years;

    2. After examination, there are no contraindications to laser ** myopia eye surgery, such as no active inflammation of the eye (including acute conjunctivitis, keratitis, etc.);

    3. No keratoconus, severe dry eye syndrome, etc.;

    4. Not a patient with severe amblyopia with extremely poor corrected vision;

    5. It is not a scar constitution or collagen disease;

    The best age for myopia eye surgery is 18-50 years old, which is the standard range in general. It mainly involves the principle of myopia surgery and the effect of surgery. Myopia correction surgery is performed on the cornea or inside the eye to create a specific prescription of glasses.

    If the patient has 500 degrees of myopia before surgery, after the operation, a 500-degree lens is made on the patient's cornea or in the eye, and the effect of a 500-degree lens is obtained. The prescription of myopia surgery should be stable, because after the surgery, the effect of a specific prescription on the eye is fixed, so the premise of the surgery is that the prescription of myopia is stable before surgery. The age is too young, the degree is unstable, still developing, and the degree is still changing.

    When you are too old, your myopia will change to a certain extent, and the lens in your eye will change when you are over 50 years old, which will also affect the change in the myopia degree of your eyes.

    Myopia surgery requires stable vision within 2 years, good eye accommodation, and no eye fatigue after surgery. Young people aged 25-30 have basically finished their heavy schoolwork, and they are less likely to experience eye fatigue after surgery, and their eyes are in good condition and have good recovery ability. Therefore, this age is the best age for myopia surgery.

    Hello, I think this question should be addressed from these aspects.

    1. After adulthood, theoretically speaking, the degree of myopia should be relatively stable.

    2. If the degree is relatively high. More than 600 degrees, there is a low probability of 3-5% regression, there will be a possibility of low degree regression within one month to one year after surgery, but this does not matter, the early stage can generally be adjusted by drugs, if the drug is not sensitive, you can do a second laser after one year after surgery, if allowed.

    3. Age is only one factor for the reference of surgery, and it depends on the condition of your comprehensive eyes.

    The best prescription for myopia eye surgery is due to the different types of myopia eye surgery, the requirements for the power of surgery are also different, it is generally believed that the correction range of laser surgery is 100-1200°, and the farsighted astigmatism is below 600°, and the refractive state is stable within 2 years, and the most suitable range for phakic intraocular lens implantation is between 1000-2000°.

    If a minor undergoes myopia eye surgery, it may affect the effect of the surgery, because the minor belongs to the critical stage of growth and development, which may lead to the continued deepening of myopia and unstable vision.

    Before undergoing myopia surgery, you need to pass a test to see if you are eligible for surgery. In addition to age-appropriate myopia stability, eye health is also required, absence of active inflammation, glaucoma, severe amblyopia, etc. Based on the medical history and the results of auxiliary examinations, the doctor will formulate a suitable plan for the patient.
