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.
