How old do I have to be for laser eye surgery in the UK?!


Question: How old do I have to be for laser eye surgery in the UK!?
I'm 16 and have really bad eyesight and have to wear glasses all the time!.
My dad also has really bad eyesight, but I don't know which of us has worse, but I do know that my eyesight is worse than my mum's already!.
Also, has anyone had it done!? Does it work and how well!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
To legally consent to cosmetic surgery you need to be 18!. That does not mean that you cannot have a consultation before then, but at 16 your vision will still be changing!. I suspect that your prescription has changed over the last year or two!? In the past 5 years, we have performed treatment on no more than a handful of 18 year olds, about 20 out of 10 000 patients!. Generally on the basis that they are entering the police or military!.

What you are looking for in terms of a stable prescription is no more than an 0!.50D change in SPHere or CYLinder over a 2 year period!.

You can do much further research on www!.lasik-eyes!.co!.uk
Stay away from the high street chains, they use rather fancy advertising, but are complete rubbish!.

Hope this helps a bit

18 but they are pretty strict about who they take on - and you also need to know that the real cost is often more than the one they advertiseWww@Answer-Health@Com
