Refractive surgery is rarely recommended before the age of 18, as the visual defect must be stable. After the age of 55-60, a complete ocular check-up is required to rule out certain pathologies, such as cataracts. Each situation therefore requires a personalized analysis during the initial consultation.
- Under 18: not recommended
- Between 18 and 55: ideal period for stable correction
- Over 55: conditional on general eye health
