Question

How Old Do You Have To Be To Get Laser Eye Surgery???

Answer 1

In the US legally it is 18. But, the reputable doctors will wait longer in most cases because people are still developing and their eyes do change well after that. So, the issue is really when you stop growing and when your eyes stablize, which in most cases is not until you are in your twenties.

Answer 2

21 in the uk

Answer 3

Laser eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.

They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

On average, I recommend waiting until age 22 or 23 to be certain you are through growing and changing.  Of course, there are other conditions that must be met in order to establish your candidacy.  Be sure to research your doctor and make sure he/she is reputable and has a good success rate.
