SMILE Pro Age Limit

Why Age Is Considered Refractive surgery is generally considered for adults whose prescription has stabilized, since vision can still be changing during the late teens and early twenties for many people. General Minimum Age Considerations Most refractive-surgery guidance suggests candidates be adults with a documented history of prescription stability, though the exact minimum is assessed on a case-by-case basis by your surgeon. Is There a Maximum Age? There is no strict universal maximum age; suitability at any age depends more on overall eye health, corneal condition, and absence of age-related eye changes such as early cataracts, which are assessed individually. Confirming Prescription Stability Your surgeon will typically review your prescription history over time to confirm stability before recommending SMILE Pro. Next Steps Book a consultation to discuss your specific age and prescription history with a qualified ophthalmologist.
