Peut-on opérer au laser une myopie à 65 ans après chirurgie au scalpel?

Bonjour, ayant été opéré des deux yeux pour une myopie, il y a une trentaine d'années cette opération s'est faite au scalpel. Est-il encore possible de me faire opérer à 65 ans via les nouvelles techniques laser?

  • De quoi voulez-vous vous faire opérer? Hypermétropie (un phénomène classique avec les opérations de myopie au scalpel), ou cataracte? À partir d'un certain âge on préfère souvent enlever le cristallin et remplacer par une lentille.
