When should we actually use laser surgery for curing myopia? I mean...age-limit.!
Question: laser surgery (also known as LASIK / Laser-Assisted in situ Keratomileusis) is a type of refractive laser eye surgery for correcting myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
this surgery can be performed if the length of ur eyes is fixed, approximately around age 20
before that age, there's a little changes in ur eyes
before the surgery, ur corneas are examined with a pachymeter to determine their thickness, and with a topographer to measure their surface contour. Using low-power lasers, a topographer creates a topographic map of the cornea. This process also detects astigmatism and other irregularities in the shape of the cornea. Using this information, the surgeon then calculates the amount and locations of corneal tissue to be removed during the operation.
if u're only have a mild myopia, u will have normal vision after surgery
but if u have severe myopia, ur vision could be normal or not normal but increase acquity, depends on how thick ur cornea is

At least 21 years old.
Most Doctors will say wait until about age 25- by that time, yours eyes have pretty much settled down and are relatively stable at that point
When you turn 21 and have Universal health care to pay for it like in Great Britian look at how clearer they are seeing.
