A member asked:

Can crossed eyes get well with surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A member asked:

What is the best age to get lasik done? I heard somewhere that if you're too young, your eyes keep changing, and you'll need to have the surgery done again. Is that true? Are there any age concerns for getting lasik?
