The best age for eye surgery is between
20 and 45+ years old.
When Is the Best Time to Get Eye Surgery?
Deciding on the best time for eye surgery is an important step toward achieving clear, glasses-free vision. Whether you’re considering LASIK, ReLEx SMILE, or LASEK, factors such as age, lifestyle, eye health, and seasonal influences can all impact the timing of your procedure.
Many patients wonder if there’s an ideal time to undergo surgery for optimal recovery and long-term results. At EuroEyes – London, we provide expert guidance to help you determine when laser vision correction fits best into your life—ensuring you achieve the sharp, hassle-free vision you deserve.
The best time to get eye surgery is typically after the age of 20+, as this is when vision has usually stabilised, reducing the risk of prescription changes after the procedure. By this age, most people have outgrown the fluctuations in eyesight that can occur in their early 20s, making them ideal candidates for long-term results. Additionally, undergoing eye surgery in this window allows patients to enjoy decades of clear vision without reliance on glasses or contact lenses, before natural age-related changes like presbyopia begin to develop in their mid-40s.
Eye Surgery For Age 20-39
EuroEyes offers eye surgery for individuals aged 20 to 39 because this age group typically experiences stable vision, making them ideal candidates for long-term correction. Younger patients benefit from early freedom from glasses and contacts, while those in their 30s can enhance their quality of life before age-related vision changes occur. By choosing laser eye surgery during this period, patients maximise the long-term benefits of clear, hassle-free vision.
Eye Surgery For Age 40+
EuroEyes offers a range of adavanced eye surgery for individuals 40+ to help reduce dependence on glasses and contacts as vision changes with age. Around this time, many people develop presbyopia, making reading glasses necessary. Advanced laser treatments and lens-based solutions can correct distance vision while addressing age-related changes, providing long-term clarity.
Eye Surgery For Age 70+
For individuals 70+, eye surgery and lens-based treatments can significantly improve vision affected by cataracts and presbyopia. At this stage, many patients experience clouded vision, making everyday tasks more challenging. Advanced procedures like trifocal/multifocal or cataract surgery with premium intraocular lenses (IOL) offer a long-term solution, restoring sharp vision and reducing reliance on glasses.
