and please dont give rude remarks.

Answer 1

I comanage refractive surgery and have had it done myself, ten years ago.  I haven't changed at all in that amount of time, but it is possible to change.  I would wait until age 22 or 23 to have it done to make sure your eyes are through changing.  You must have stable vision for at least a year to be a candidate.  It is extremely safe as far as surgeries go.  No procedure is absolutely risk free.  You must do your homework and find a good, reputable surgeon.  You don't want to go to one who will do it just because you have money in your hand.  It's not a time for bargain hunting.  It is one of the best things I have ever done for myself, but I can't stress enough to make sure you are a good candidate.  Get more than one opinion.  You are much better off doing so and are less likely to have poor results....
