What is the best age for myopia surgery

Students wearing glasses can be seen everywhere in schools nowadays. This is often caused by students having incorrect sitting posture when studying. In today's society, technology is so advanced and almost everyone has a mobile phone. Many people hold their phones every day to watch, which is extremely harmful to their eyes. Therefore, more and more people are suffering from myopia. So what is the best age for myopia surgery? Let me introduce it to you today.

Myopia surgery generally refers to excimer laser surgery to treat myopia. The so-called excimer laser refers to the laser produced by stimulated dimers. The reason why it is called a quasi-molecule is that it is not a stable molecule. It is a fleeting molecule that was once formed in a series of physical and chemical reactions caused by the excitation of the laser mixed gas by external energy, and its life span is only tens of nanoseconds.

In daily life, we can find that children nowadays are becoming myopic at an earlier age and the myopia rate is getting higher and higher due to heavy academic workload or long-term use of computers or watching TV. Wearing glasses for myopia not only affects the appearance, but also brings many inconveniences to life and work. What is more serious is that people become dependent on glasses and their myopia becomes more and more serious. In addition, contact lenses need to be removed and disinfected every day, which can easily cause corneal infection. Therefore, many myopic patients hope to correct their myopia through eye surgery.

What is the best age for myopia surgery?

Authoritative experts say: The best age for myopia surgery is 18-50 years old. Adolescents under the age of 18 are in the growth and development stage and their eye axes may still lengthen. If this type of myopic person blindly undergoes myopia surgery when the refractive power of his eyes has not yet completely stabilized, there is a high possibility that he will develop myopia again after the surgery, and the stability of the effect of the myopia surgery cannot be guaranteed.

For myopic people over the age of 50, their vision has already deteriorated and they have varying degrees of presbyopia. Few of these myopic people can pass preoperative examinations. If you force your myopia surgery to correct your vision, the visual effect after the surgery cannot be guaranteed and may even cause more harm than good.

The age range of 18 to 50 is also a relative concept and needs to be considered in conjunction with the "career" you are engaged in. If you are engaged in sports, dance, public relations and other professions, the age can be extended to 45 or even 50 years old; if you are engaged in a profession that requires a lot of desk work, such as civil servants, teachers, reporters, etc., consider not having surgery after the age of 35. Because people's eyes begin to become "blurred" (i.e. presbyopia) around the age of 40, after undergoing myopia surgery, they can see clearly in the distance, but they still need to wear "reading glasses" when working at a desk.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a general understanding of the best age for myopia surgery. In fact, myopia will have a great impact on our life and work. Good jobs often require normal vision, so many people lose the opportunity to work.
