Is 19 a good age to have lasik surgery?Carita
My sight has been stable for about a year and my ophthalmologist, who's quite reputable, says that I'm a good candidate for LASIK. But my family and friends are saying that I better wait a year or two.

i am 22 years old and i just had lasik surgery about two months ago. I wanted to do it after I turned 18 though. I would recommend doing this surgery at any age older than18. Its permanent however at some point as you grow older, probably older than 40ish, and you will need reading glasses but most likely nothing more. This surgery is priceless to me and if I had the chance to do it again I would in a heartbeat. To me it was almost painless and only one day did i experience severe discomfort and it was on the third day after surger. The day of and after I almost felt nothing and I could see better the moment i stepped away from the laser. I say DO IT you will be very glad you will

Usually the lasik surgeons require close to 2 years of stability in the prescription just to be sure it won't be changing again 3 months after the surgery.Personally, I would wait another year. I agree with your friends and family.
