I know that in USA, you must be at least 18 to get LASIK surgery. What about different countries in Europe, is there any LASIK surgery that you can be less than 18?

Answer
The reason they don't want people doing the Lasik too young is that you really need to wait untill you are sure your vision is not going to change any more, this is usually when your are about 20 or so, Other wise, you will be paying all this money to not have to wear glasses and a couple years later, when your eyes get worse, guess what, you're having to wear glasses again and have wasted your money!

Supposedly, they can do it again if this happens, but it is not always free (depends on the place) and who wants to go through that procedure twice if you don't have to. I'm certain, if you try hard enough, you can find some doctor in some country that will do anything you want for enough money, but don't say you weren't warned.

Should I do Lasik now or wait for better safer technology?

I am in the mid 20's consider Lasik, but i heard some side effect such as had problem in night vision, should I wait few more years maybe a safer and better technology will come out? What age should do Lasik before is too late?

Answer
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!

Think about that - no more glasses or contact lenses. What a relief - never having to hunt for your glasses or fool around with contacts.

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 -
