Comment posted whats is the best age for lasik eye surgery? by Jenna K.

I’ve actually never heard of that age range being suggested. I do know that lasik has no strict age requirement and most patients that apply or go into get it done are between the ages of 21-70. It might have been suggested that you postpone because you might not have reached eligibility standards. Theres an actual application and everything you must fill out to determine whether youd be a good candidate. You should call a lasik center near you and voice your questions, im sure they’ll be able to help you.

  • Most doctors I have spoken to have said over 21. By that age, your eyes have already matured and developed.

    I would recommend speaking with another surgeon and seeing what they would suggest. If you need help finding one, you can visit http://thelasikreview.com/lasik-yahoo.php . They offer a free consultation and determine whether or not you’re eligible. for the surgery.

  • Over 18, and with at least two year’s history of a stable Rx…
    That is going to push many people to 24-25, but once there is good evidence that the eyes are going to stay near zero (for a good while at least) once they are reset to zero, there is no need to wait longer (all other factors been satisfactory, and the risks being accepted).

  • No age category. Just when you’re ready and you must qualify with the thickness or the cornea etc. I had it done when it first came out. BTW, Tiger Woods had it done at the age of 23 and his golf career took off big time.

  • Lasik Eye Procedure – What Happens During a Lasik Eye Surgery
    Lasik eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

    Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
    They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

    Less than 20 minutes, although you will need to have time to recuperate after the surgery (keep your eyes closed). I’ve laid out the step by step of the process and even included a video of the surgery itself at http://www.wika-lasik.com

  • What is 20/20 Vision?
    I HAVE 20/20 but when you see how many ppl have glasses/contacts, it makes me think about 20% because even if you dont have them, you probably dont have 20/20 or even 19/20! lol

    13? Lasik at 13 years old? That’s interesting.

    Anyway…

    LASIK is a very brief procedure. If everything goes well, it should be done in 15 minutes or less.

    It’s usually done while the patient is awake. Topical (eye drops) anesthesia is used. Its not that uncomfortable to the patient.

  • Do You Need Eye Surgery?
    I personally only know one child who had this defect. While I have temporarily lost contact with the family (military family, moved), he still had not needed to have surgery and he had just had his 3rd birthday.
