There is a widespread belief that laser vision correction cannot be performed on children under the age of 18. In reality, this is only an approximate threshold.
On one hand it marks the age of adulthood; on the other, it is the age at which myopia stabilises — which occurs in many, but not all, children at this point.
At Crystal Vision, we have developed a technique that allows laser vision correction to be performed at an earlier age where there is a clinical indication to do so.
By helping a child to be free of glasses, we open up a world of possibilities for a happy childhood — they will be able to play sport, run, swim, and enjoy every day to the full!
The clinical necessity of laser correction for certain conditions, combined with the psychological freedom it offers children and the new opportunities it creates, makes laser vision correction a true gift for our young patients.
We perform procedures using the most precise, versatile and fast laser of the latest generation, delivering an individualised approach to vision correction. Laser correction in children is performed in the finest specialist inpatient facility, under general anaesthesia.
Our technique has gained recognition not only in Russia but also internationally.
Colleagues from Canada, the USA, Argentina, the Czech Republic, Spain and other countries have joined us, and today successfully perform paediatric laser corrections to our standards.
We do not perform laser correction on children simply for the sake of it. Where necessary, the young patient first undergoes preliminary treatment to halt the progression of vision loss, so that we can be confident that laser correction will free them from glasses for life!
