At what age the laser treatment can be performed?
|
|
At least at 18. The doctor should determine that the eye degree of the patient has
not changed between ages 18 and 21. |
|
|
|
|
What if I move my eyes during the treatment?
|
|
It is natural that the eyes make little moves during the treatment. The laser is
designed to follow these moves with a special built-in system. If the laser can
not follow the eye during big moves, the operation stops.
