It's not too late at 40.

The article discusses why many people in their early forties consider undergoing laser eye surgery (dioptric correction), often after delaying the decision due to other priorities. It highlights that while contact lenses and glasses remain functional, daily life becomes increasingly inconvenient, especially with prolonged screen time leading to dry eyes and discomfort. The piece emphasizes that it is generally not too late for laser surgery at this age but requires careful planning. Dr. Veronika Blažič, an ophthalmologist, explains that the decision to proceed with surgery is driven by a desire for convenience and comfort rather than urgent necessity. She encourages individuals to reflect on what they truly want from their vision and suggests preliminary tests to assess suitability for different surgical methods.
