Can a child get lasik surgery?

there must be a reason to ask this, and Lasik probably is not the answer....surgeons will NEVER do lasik on a minor, simply because their eyes are still changing and the cornea is not fully developed yet. if the reason you are interested is for an eyeturn, or lazy eye, there are other surgeries that will help for this, just not lasik. If you are simply interested in the procedure because your child wont wear glasses or keeps breaking them, then doctors will do contact lenses in some some special cases for children under 10....I personally have a 5 year old patient who we taught the parents to insert and remove the contact lenses for the child, it was a special needs patient, but it is possible....hope this helps!
