The problem with your age is that your eyes may continue to change. You will have to talk to the eye dr, but they want you prescription to be stable.I had lasik at 34 and I should have done it sooner. It's awesome. Went to Mann eye clinic in Houston. They are wonderful!

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.As you are not yet 18, LASIK eye surgery is not a good choice for now...

No, your eyes aren't fully developed yet. I had mine done at 28, and that was the ideal time for me. What difference does it make, about going to the prom? Could you get some disposable contacts to wear for that night? Besides, if you have to wear glasses, that's not bad. Glasses are sexy. Wearing glasses means you are so beautiful you can afford to hide some of the beauty behind lenses because you have so much to spare!

Well, I haven't had it myself personally, but a lot of friends swear by it, and are glad that they got it. My brother got it India through India Health Guru Consultants, and he said it was great Lasik eye surgery helped millions of people to be able to see, without the help of contacts and glasses. It will help you too, but make sure you get the right doctor for the procedure. After the surgery, one feels mild discomfort or pain for a couple of days. The procedure itself is not painful because they give you anaesthetic drops to numb the eye. For the first week, one may have sensitivity to light as blurry vision and dry eyes. All these side effects disappear within a few days and. The process is simple, safe and fast. They are making big improvements in this field, so it's probably worth it if you can afford it and don't need to use your eyes for a few daysfor info, please visit the link http://www.indianhealthguru.com

Don't. I'm only 15 but your eyes aren't fully developed yet like mine. I heard the safest age to do it is around 23 or 24.

You have to be 18.
