Important prerequisites for treatment are, for example, the stability of the refractive values and a sufficient thickness of the cornea. There should be no eye disease or pregnancy, the minimum age is 18 years.
Vision correction solutions for different ages
At EuroEyes, we understand that choosing to undergo refractive surgery is an important personal decision. Your age, eye condition, lifestyle, and visual needs are all key factors in the evaluation. Let us provide you with professional consultation and develop a personalized refractive surgery plan to help you regain clear vision.
Eye Surgery For Age 20-39
EuroEyes offers myopia correction solutions for individuals aged 20 to 39, including LASIK laser vision correction, SMILE® Pro smile correction, and ICL contact lens implantation. Patients in this age group typically have stable vision, making them suitable for long-term vision correction planning. Younger patients can get rid of the limitations of glasses and contact lenses, while those approaching forty can improve their visual experience before age-related vision changes become apparent.
Eye Surgery For Age 40+
EuroEyes offers a range of vision correction options for individuals aged 40 and over, including Presbyond LBV laser vision correction and intraocular lens replacement surgery. These options aim to help alleviate presbyopia caused by age-related vision changes or blurred vision due to cataracts, thereby impacting visual experience and quality of life. Laser vision correction and intraocular lens replacement surgery meet the diverse needs of different individuals.
Eye Surgery For Age 60+
EuroEyes offers a variety of intraocular lens (IOL) replacement surgery options for individuals aged 60 and older. For those aged 60 and older, IOL replacement surgery can significantly improve vision affected by cataracts and presbyopia. At this age, many patients experience a gradual decline in visual acuity, making daily activities more difficult. Our different treatment options help patients restore clear vision.
When is the best time to undergo vision correction surgery?
Many patients with vision problems want to know if there is an ideal time for surgery to achieve the best recovery results and long-term stable vision quality. There is no single standard answer to when is the best time to undergo refractive surgery. Whether it’s LASIK, SMILE Pro, or intraocular lens replacement surgery, age, lifestyle, visual needs, eye health, and overall health all affect the appropriate timing of the surgery. Therefore, a comprehensive pre-operative examination is essential.
At EuroEyes Hong Kong, we provide professional pre-operative assessments and guidance to help you determine the suitable time to undergo refractive surgery based on your personal lifestyle, ensuring you achieve clear vision and a good quality of life.
FAQs
What payment methods does EuroEyes Hong Kong accept?
Do you accept Health Care Vouchers?
We accept Health Care Vouchers for Consultation and Surgery.
Is there an age limit for laser eye surgery?
A minimum age of 18 years is required for laser eye treatment. Your refractive error should have been stable for approximately one year before treatment.
Will I be able to see clearly immediately after laser eye surgery for myopia?
As a rule, the day after the procedure you can already see 80-90% of what you could see before with your visual aids and within 3 days you will have full visual acuity.
Can presbyopia be treated? What are the treatment options?
Presbyopia is treatable. Treatment options depend on age, lifestyle, and overall health. The treatment options include:
- Presbyond LBV laser vision correction surgery
- Intraocular lens replacement surgery, i.e Trifocal Lenses
After presbyopia correction surgery, will I still need to rely on reading glasses?
Most patients will experience a significant reduction in their reliance on glasses after undergoing laser eye surgery or intraocular lens replacement surgery. However, due to factors such as age, pre-existing eye conditions, and individual differences in recovery, some patients may still need to wear reading glasses when reading small print or in low-light environments.
What are the symptoms of cataracts in advanced stage? When should I consider to accept cataract surgery?
The question of how quickly cataracts progress cannot be answered in general terms. In some cases, it takes many years before the disease leads to blindness if left untreated, while in others it progresses rapidly within a few weeks. In the advanced stage, the following symptoms usually appear in varying degrees:
- Vision deteriorates in near and/or distance vision
- Vision becomes increasingly blurred
- The vision of colors, contours and contrasts deteriorate
- Glare sensitivity increases
- Light-dark adaptation worsens
- Double vision is perceived
- Spatial vision (stereopsis) deteriorates
If cataracts begin to affect daily activities (such as driving, reading, or recognizing faces), cataract surgery should be considered.

Does insurance cover vision correction surgery at your eye center?
Generally, elective vision correction procedures like LASIK or SMILE Pro are not covered by most insurance providers. However, medically necessary procedures performed at our eye clinic, such as cataract surgery may be partially or fully covered depending on your specific insurance plan. We recommend checking with your insurance provider. Our eye center Hong Kong team can provide the necessary medical breakdown and receipts to assist you with your reimbursement claims.
What should I bring to my initial consultation at the eye clinic?
When you visit our eye clinic Hong Kong for your first assessment, please bring your Hong Kong ID or passport. If you wear glasses, please bring your current pair. If you wear contact lenses, it is vital that you stop wearing them before your exam (soft lenses for at least 7 days, hard lenses for at least 2 weeks) to ensure our diagnostic machines at the eye center get accurate measurements of your cornea. Also, bring a list of any medications you are currently taking.
