With myopia, myopic astigmatism, hyperopia, hyperopic astigmatism, mixed astigmatism. If you have been diagnosed with one of the above diagnoses, you have the opportunity to restore your vision and forget about using glasses and contact lenses.
It is even better to perform laser vision correction on both eyes at once to avoid increasing the difference between the eyes. In any case, the question of carrying out a correction for one or both eyes is decided by your attending physician after a full examination.
Best after 18 years (with myopia and myopic astigmatism). With mixed and hyperopic astigmatisms, it is possible earlier, but only for medical reasons. The upper age limit is not fixed and is determined by the state of the eyeball and the presence of contraindications.

Unfortunately, there are such cases. However, it is worth noting that deterioration occurs for reasons not related to the operation, but depends on the individual characteristics of the person.
