Lasik surgery age requirement in other countries?

StRanNgeR

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
general rule is

you must be at least 20'ish or something, where ur eye no longer change in shape/size anymore,

otherwise whats the point of doing it, if after surgery and ur eye grow/change again, which end up with prescriptions again.

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.
