How old do you have to be to get laser eye surgery?

lasik eye surgery 16 year old image

Christine

I am 16 years old, 17 in 2 months. I wear contacts (not sure my vision numbers) but I might like to get lasik sometime soon, hopefully before college.

What's the minimum age?
How much is it?

Thanks to any answers!

Answer
25 years old. Your eyes will continue to change and you really need to wait for them to quit changing. If you get the surgery to early, they will just go bad again. I would wait at least until 23 or 24 and until you have had at least 2 yearly exams where your eyes have not gotten any worse.

What can I do with my VERY bad eyesight?

Tarunn

I have very bad eyes and I was wondering that I can do to improve my eyesight or stop it from getting worse. My right eye is -19 and my left eye is -17. Am only 16 years old and turning 17 in 2 months. Last year, my retina detached on my right eye and I had to get surgery. Right now, it seems that everything is becoming stable. I wanted to know what my options are and any risks I should not take. Can I go blind? Can LASIK make anything better? I am really worried and I don't know what to do.

Answer
Get some specs they work gradually
