How old do you have to be to get lasik eye surgury?Aurora
Can it be done if you have an estigmitism?

18 for conventional lasik and 21 for CustomVue lasik...Yup all Lasik can be done for astigmatism up to a certain degree (really high astigmatism degree they wont do).

Lasik is approved by the FDA for people 18 and older however most surgeons will be hesitant to touch anyone not at least 21 due to stability of prescription. If I were you I would wait a few more years unless your rx has been stable for at least 2-3 years. If you decide to go forth with a consultation at 18, you can save some time and bring your records from your Optometrist with you because they will require them in order to go forth with Lasik. good luck!

Usually women's sight starts stabiliizing at around 18 and men by the age of 21. Most opthamologists won't do lasik surgery until your Rx stabilizes (when you stop growing). Yes, you can get Lasik if you have an astigmatism. Get a screening-they are usually free. It's a great option for alot of people. Good luck.
