Is there an age requirement for LASIK eye surgery?

THE JENSTE

Do you have to be a legal adult [18 years] to have LASIK, or can anyone get it with parental approval?

I'm just curious.

Answer
Although The FDA guidelines recognize 18, you are generally better off waiting until 20 - 21, or longer. Dr Dello Russo www.dellorusso.com www.drdellorusso.com/blog

Answer
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 -

* You should be over 18 years of age.
* Your corneas must be healthy.
* You should not have had a significant change in your lens prescription in the last 12 months.
* Women should not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
* You should be in good general health.

LASIK eye surgery is relatively safe and it can free you from glasses and contacts. Before you commit to LASIK surgery, make sure that you consider all the advantages and disadvantages of having the procedure. Ask the doctor lots of questions so that you can make an informed decision about whether LASIK eye surgery is the right choice for you.
