Refractive status includes refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Since young people under the age of 18 are in the period of physical growth and their eye refractive power is unstable, if they undergo surgery blindly, their vision is likely to deteriorate after one or two years. The best age for surgery is between 25 and 30 years old.

2. People with congenital eye diseases

Laser myopia surgery requires the cornea to have a certain thickness, which varies from person to person. Some people cannot undergo laser surgery due to congenital deficiencies. In addition, people who engage in water sports should not undergo surgery.
