1. There are different types of laser eye surgery.
2. Refractive laser eye surgery for near-sightedness and astigmatism is probably best between 21 and 50.
3. The eye's refractive power usually stabilizes between age 18-21. Cataracts may start after age 50.

There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration to help determine if you are a good candidate. It is best to confirm with your doctor if you are eligible for laser eye surgery.
Between 20 and 40.
