Can you have myopic surgery when you’re a month shy of 18?

If you are one month shy of 18 years old and have an urgent need for myopia removal, it is recommended that you consult a doctor for a checkup, and if you are eligible for surgery, you can undergo the procedure. Myopia surgery usually requires that the patient be at least 18 years old, because by the time the patient reaches the age of 18, his/her eyesight will be more mature and his/her myopia will be more stabilized. After myopia surgery, maintaining good eye habits can usually achieve the goal of lens removal. If you are one month short of 18 years old and have the need for surgery, we recommend that you go to a regular hospital for an examination. If your myopia has stabilized over the past two years and you are eligible for surgery, you can also undergo surgery under the guidance of your doctor. The principle of myopia correction surgery is to change the curvature of the cornea through laser to repair the patient’s refractive defects, but can only repair the existing myopia, so if new myopia grows in the later stage, the patient will still have the symptom of not being able to see clearly, so the surgery must require the patient’s myopia has been stabilized, in order to reduce the possibility of myopia regression in the later stage.
