How old in the UK do you have to be to have your eyes lasered?

Question

i'm just curious...

also, how long does it last?

Answer 1

i think its older than 16,maybe 18.basically your eyes have to have stopped growing

Answer 2

I had mine done when I was forty five and they quickly reverted to the original prescription. Ultralase were going to repeat the operation but the Surgeon decided he was too concerned about over correcting. I paid over £2000 and five years later am wearing glasses again. Do your research and don't only read the favourable reviews. I know of at least a dozen others had their eyes lasered at St Albans clinic and are not happy with the result. The length of time the 'benefits' last is not yet known since it's a relatively recent procedure.

Answer 3

not sure about the age,i would think at least 16.I had my eyes done at 25,it took about 10 mins per eye and lasts for life.

Answer 4

18

Answer 5

I'm sure if you are underage you will need parental consent.  I would recommend if you are not of age talking to your parents about it first, because no matter what age a doctor will do it at, he can't do it if your parents say no.

Good Luck!

Answer 6

u gotta be 21

Answer 7

the typical age is at least 18, it should last until you are near 40 as that is when the eye loses it's ability to see near as well as when you were younger, it may last longer depending on your eyes.

Answer 8

I'm sure its 18 . It depends on your vision . But age related changes still occur .
