How old do you have to be to have laser eye surgery?

Answer 1

That would depend on the reason.

With parental consent, any age.

But if you want to get it done off your own back, you would have to be 18+.

Answer 2

You generally must be a legal adult at least 18 years of age to have laser eye surgery. In addition, because this surgery usually requires that your vision have stabilized, some patients need to wait until their early 20s because vision tends to be unstable during even the late teen years.

Answer 3

AnswerMinimum age is 18, but your eyes may or may not be changing. If your prescription has been changing, then you should wait. If it has been constant for two years, then you have probably stopped changing. If you have LASIK before your eyes stop changing, you will need to go back and have further LASIK after your eyes stop changing.

Answer 4

I remember that I had a friend who's mother did a laser eye surgery she said that she even after the surgery the doctors had told that she still had to wear the speaks for 10 or more years for the eye to recover and had told that she was 23 when she had the surgery done. So, I guess that you have to be more than 21 she told something like that about the age limit something like that but more important than your age it's that you have to have a stable refraction.

The reason is because your eyes most likely to stop changing or slow down at this age. At most laser centers you are required to be between 18 and 70. Some places may require you to be 21+, and even 25+.

Answer 6

If factors (eye health, corneal thickness, etc.) do not exclude you as a candidate you can have laser eye surgery in your 40s-60s. That said, you may not be able to completely eliminate your need for eyeglasses. People start experiencing symptoms of presbyopia in their 40s and if you get laser eye surgery later in life you may still require reading glasses.
