can eighteen year old get eye surgery?
ladiesman2
i'm 18 yrs old and have really really really bad eyes,my power for my eyes are a +4.25. i heard that you have to be 24 to get eye surgery but is this true. my mom is 50 and my eyes are worse then hers and she has really bad eyes. i don't want to go blind by my 30th birthday. if i was able to get eyes surgery what would happen 10 or 20 years later would i go blind or start losing my sight again. is it possible to go blind during surgery. thanks!!!
Answer
The age for conventional lasik is 18, but customvue lasik you have to be 21. For any lasik, your eyes need to be stable at least a year before they will allow you to have it. I'm sure you won't go blind by the time you are 30..... Some people need a lasik enhancement later on in their life due to natural eye changes. Nobody has every gone blind from having lasik done. The biggest risk is infection. I had customvue lasik a month ago and it was well worth the money. Good luck!

That sucks! I work at a LASIK center in San Jose, CA and Pleasanton, CA.
It takes 3 months for your vision to stabilize. So it may just be that. Some patients don't see 20/20 within the first day w/LASIK. Some take 24-48 hours to notice improvement. Hopefully you were given eye drops to use after surgery - antibiotics (use for 5 days afterwards), anti-inflammatory(also 5 days afterwards), and artificial tears (for 1 month after) to use.
I hope you did not go to a "bargain center" for surgery. I know those $499/eye sounds appealing and definitely affordable but those are usually Dr's who are just starting out and need to gain the experience. Even centers that offer "lifetime guarantees" are a joke as most of them won't even be around 5-10 years later when you will need something.
