my right eye vision is 69 with an axis of 1.85 and cycle at 180 - i'm considering laser surgery to improve my eyesight but i'm not sure if this is the right age to do it without risks
It's understandable to be concerned about risks when considering laser eye surgery. While there's no strict age limit, most surgeons prefer candidates between 20 and 40, as vision tends to stabilize during this period. However, individual circumstances, including eye health and medical history, play a significant role. Your vision correction number (69) and axis (1.85) are specific, and a qualified eye surgeon can assess if you're a suitable candidate, considering your overall eye health and the potential risks and benefits of the procedure.

Vision loss is not a common risk with squint surgery, but it's important to be aware of potential risks, including temporary vision changes, double vision, and in rare cases, a permanent decrease in vision. There are safer, non-surgical options like vision therapy, glasses, and prism lenses that can address squint without the risks of surgery
