Can a person have eye surgery at the age of 18?

Q. I'm 16, but when I graduate from high school I want to join the navy and apply for BUD/S training. Is it possible for me to have any kind of of eye surgery to fix my vision (20/60) at the age of 18?

A. It would be possible if your doctor is convinced that your growth period is over. You must reach adulthood to minimize the chance of a change in prescription else the procedure would be a waste of time, due to changes in your correction as you continue to develope.
Also, you are required to answer honestly the questionare when you enter into the service, which might put you in a spot regarding this issue. They can find out a lot when going through the application process.

What is the age to get laser eye surgery?
Q. I'm wonder what age you can get laser eye surgery, i am hoping to do it right away.

A. LASIK is a laser based vision correction procedure where your vision can be corrected to such a degree that you no longer need corrective lenses. And the amazing part is that it all happens in just a few minutes!

But LASIK eye surgery isn't right for everyone. You need to meet certain requirements before submitting to LASIK eye surgery.

Here are a few of the guidelines used in determining if LASIK is a good choice for you -

* You should be over 18 years of age.
* Your corneas must be healthy.
* You should not have had a significant change in your lens prescription in the last 12 months.
* Women should not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
* You should be in good general health.

LASIK eye surgery can perform miracles - it can give you relief from wearing corrective lenses. It can cure nearsightedness, astigmatism and farsightedness. The procedure is quick and painless, offering almost immediate results. And due to advances in technology and the wide demand for this type of service, LASIK is quite economical.

LASIK eye surgery is now so common that millions of people have decided that it was time to abandon their corrective lenses, once and for all. There are so many LASIK clinics that you're likely to find one close by, no matter where you live.
