What is the minimum age required to get corrective eye surgery?!


Question:

What is the minimum age required to get corrective eye surgery?


Answers:

I am assuming you mean Lasik surgery to correct vision.

Most doctors require a patient to be 18 years old.

"The ideal candidate includes those who:
• Are over 18 years of age and have had a stable glasses or contact lens prescription for at least two years."

"To be eligible for LASIK, you must meet the following criteria:
***Be 18 years of age or older
***Have stable vision for at least one year before surgery(bring old contact lenses or glasses prescription to your exam.)
***Have healthy eyes that are free of disease, scars, retinal problems, and corneal malformations "
