What Is The Ideal Age To Undergo LASIK Eye Surgery?
Question: what is the earliest age for a young man to be eligible for a lasik eye procedure?
Brief Answer:
21years
Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
The rationale is to wait till the age of 18, when power keeps on changing. The catch is that power should be stabilized for a minimum period of 2years.
So if the power has stabilized by about 19 or 20 years and then we wait for 2 years of stoppage of progression of power, 21 is the minimum age , as we do not want to take any chance.
Do get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.
Regards
21years
