How old do you have to be to get lasik?

18: You have to be at least 18, but it is likely that you will need to be older as your prescription has to stabilize before you can get laser vision correction.

18 with qualifiers: Under 18 : to prevent development of amblyopia (off fda) above 18 : if vision and corneal topography are stable for people above 45 years of age prelex is a better option. http://www.prelexbook.com/reviews-of-the-book/.
