    You can’t get laser eye when you are a teenager. You are still growing, and your vision is still changing. Just get contacts for now, and when you are in your 20′s or 30′s consider it. Hope I helped! :)

    no,you can also be blind because of that

    Lasik eye surgery is rather safe if only you are a suitable candidate. As with any surgery, there is a definite risk incurred. You must be screened for suitability and examined by the doctor personally. (Not the sales team to mislead you to get expensive package deal).

    If you are a suitable candidate, the risk maybe :-
    1.)Dry eyes (temporary)
    2.)Regression/ enhancement
    3.)Infection (3-5/20,000 for the next 3 weeks)
    4.)Flap/ complication of treatment (rare)
    5.)Miscellaneous

    A suitable candidate for Lasik surgery, it depends on:-
    1.)Your corneal thickness
    2.)Your power
    3.)Your age
    4.)A centre with a doctor who is examining your eyes personally
    5.)Through explanation to suit your lifestyle

    Always insist on seeing the doctor performing the surgery for you. It is the due deligent of him or her to present the risk and benefit to you in detail personally.
