Is there an age limit for lasik surgery?Cassaundra
and is it good?

Most countries have an 18 or 21 year-old age minimum for Lasik. It's also strongly recommended that the Rx should have been stable, unchanging, for at least two years prior to surgery, to demonstrate that the shifts commonly associated with growth have finished.Is it good? For most, the great majority, it's very good.for a few it's not, and for a very few it's awful."Now I can't drive at night because it's so bright it's like putting your head in a bag of Christmas lights, " says Woodlock, 40, of Huntington Beach, Calif. "I went to another doctor who said my corneas look like shattered windshields. I've had four more surgeries in my left eye, but it can't be fixed. It's important people know this can happen."Is one testimony I quickly found on-line.To balance that, one study showed that, whether or not people had noticed side-effects, 97% would recommend Lasik to a friend.Putting "Lasik Problems" into Google will get you a range of opinons on this, not just mine! Or you may consider the FDA page reasonably reliable.The sites by people who have had disasters are, of course, horrific and vehemently against Lasik.

Where I live, the age limit for lasik is 18. I haven't gotten lasik surgery, but a friend of mine has, and she loves it! She couldn't be more happier.
