A member asked:
What age do you have to be to get laser eye surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mostly after 23: The eye is changing in a not totally predictable way prior to age 23 so to avoid re-lasik surgery, most avoid surgery on anyone younger than this. In special cases younger patients may be considered and even a few children have been done but these are exceptions.
