General Age Guidelines
<\/b><\/h3>

\"Close-up<\/p>

  1. Minimum age: <\/span>21 years old<\/b><\/li>
  2. Stability of prescription: Doctors want a <\/span>stable refraction<\/b> (no major changes in glasses power).<\/span><\/li>
  3. No other <\/span>corneal anomalies,<\/b> like past history of cornea scar or injury or signs of <\/span>corneal diseases<\/span><\/a><\/li>
  4. Upper age limit: There isn\u2019t a strict cutoff, but past <\/span>40\u201345 years, <\/b>presbyopia<\/b><\/a> (age-related near blur) and early lens changes start influencing treatment choice.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>


    Treatment Options by Age Group
    <\/b><\/h3>

    \"Young<\/p>

    21-40 years\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/h4>

    The cornea is generally still <\/span>healthy<\/b>, healing capacity is good.<\/span><\/p>

    If the prescription is stable:<\/span><\/p>

    1. TransPRK<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>FemtoLASIK<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>SMILE Pro<\/b><\/a>: preferred for low-to-moderate myopia and astigmatism.<\/span><\/li>
    2. ICL<\/b><\/a> considered if: very high myopia, thin cornea, or unsuitable corneal shape.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

      Doctors may delay surgery if frequent prescription changes are noted.<\/span><\/p>

      \"Woman<\/p>

      40-50 years (Onset of Presbyopia)<\/i><\/b><\/h4>

      The natural lens stiffens, need for reading glasses.<\/span><\/p>

      Laser options (<\/span>SMILE pro<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>FemtoLASIK<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>TransPRK<\/span><\/a>) still possible, but patients must be counseled about:<\/span><\/p>
