I'm 20 and have been wearing glasses for my short sight problem My friends keep suggesting I get eye surgery and I'm open to it if my age is suitable Could you tell me which option is safer and better between LASIK and laser surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, 20 is generally considered a suitable age for laser eye surgery like LASIK, as vision typically stabilizes by this age. Most doctors prefer to perform the surgery when the prescription has been stable for about a year. This allows for a more predictable outcome and reduces the chance of needing further corrections later.
