Whether to undergo myopia correction surgery depends on the patient’s individual circumstances. Patients may choose to wear properly prescribed eyeglasses or contact lenses. A comprehensive eye examination at a reputable ophthalmology clinic is required to determine the appropriate corrective lenses based on the degree of myopia. Surgery may be considered for individuals aged 18 years or older whose myopia has remained stable for at least two years—specifically, with no more than a 50-diopter increase in refractive error during that period.
