Question:
LASIK eye surgery question, please enter.?
I'll turn 17 next August, do I need to go to a doctor to start tracking the changes in the prescription starting from now? Because the prescription doesn't have to change for at least 1 year.
Answers:
It's always good to make sure your eyes are healthy...and when you go to the optometrist, they will measure your vision.
Some surgeons will perform LASIK at age 18 and with a stable vision (common practice in my area is 2 years stable prescription), but it has been shown that your vision can continue to fluctuate until the early 20s. That is a question you will need to ask refractive surgeons in your area what their preferences are.
Happy birthday next month!
