Why do myopia operations have to be 18 years old?

With the continuous progress and development of science and technology, more and more electronic products appear in people's lives. It is these electronic products that bring great convenience to people's lives, but also change people's lifestyles and make travel life easier and faster. However, everything has two sides. While bringing convenience, it also brings some contribution to eye health, and the myopia population is also increasing year by year. Myopia can blur the world seen by people's eyes and cannot be separated from glasses, and the purpose of vision surgery is to take off glasses.

The reason why we have to wait until 18 years old to do myopia surgery is because in adolescence, in fact, before 18 years old, the growth and development are vigorous, and the diopter of the eyes is also in an unstable state. If you are eager to improve myopia through myopia surgery before 18 years old, you will often fail to achieve the ideal effect and your vision may be worse. This means that the doctor's efforts and myopia surgery have no effect.

Moreover, myopia surgery has strict restrictions on the age group, and it can only be done between 18-50 years old. Because at this age, people's body has stopped developing and their eyeballs are in a stable state, myopia surgery can achieve ideal results. After the age of 50, the doctor's advice is that myopia surgery is not needed, because all the functions of the body begin to deteriorate, and presbyopia will slowly begin to appear with age.

It is understandable to be anxious about vision recovery, but it needs to be done at the right age, so as to ensure that the operation can achieve the best effect and will not waste time and money. Moreover, for nearsighted people, attention should also be paid to eye hygiene in daily life. Don't overuse your eyes, so that your eyes are in a state of fatigue and dryness for a long time. Protecting the eyes is also the main means to prevent myopia.
