Hi I want to get laser eye surgery (I don't know any special medical terms but it's the kind when you just want to go from glasses to no glasses) what age do you need to be? and if you could add a price that'd be great.
Thanks.

Answer
LASIK in Australia costs between $5000-6000 for 2 eyes.
Usually it won't be done until you're prescription has stabilised - young people who are short sighted generally continue becoming more short sighted until about their mid-late twenties. Once this stops laser surgery will work wonders until you need reading glasses in your late forties. Really it depends on the individual though.

What is the minimum age to get Lasik or laser eye surgery?

I live in North Carolina, I am thirteen years old and I want Lasik or laser eye correction. What is the minimum age? Can I get it younger with a parent signature?

Answer
Hi Blake - Patients can typically have the procedure starting at the age of 18 or 19. By this age the eyes have slowed or stopped changing so laser eye surgery can be performed safely. If you are 17 years old you could still be a candidate, but you’ll need parental consent. It’s important to remember that everyone is different, so you’ll still need to find out if you are a candidate. The best way to find out if you’re a candidate is to undergo a preoperative consultation. LASIK MD offers free consultations, so try and find a laser vision correction centre near you that offers this service for free.

Hope that helps,
