When is it safe and practical to get laser eye surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stable prescription: most people can consider laser eye surgery when their distance prescription has become stable for at least 12-18 months, generally when they around 21 years of age or so. Other factors also come into play, so a consult is required to make sure your eyes are otherwise suitable for surgery.
