The Facts Regarding What Age Do You Need To Be For -411
Hi I want to get laser eye surgery (I don’t know any special medical terms but it’s the kind when you just want to go from glasses to no glasses) what age do you need to be? and if you could add a price that’d be great.
Thanks.

LASIK in Australia costs between $5000-6000 for 2 eyes.
Usually it won’t be done until you’re prescription has stabilised – young people who are short sighted generally continue becoming more short sighted until about their mid-late twenties. Once this stops laser surgery will work wonders until you need reading glasses in your late forties. Really it depends on the individual though.

You almost always need to be 18, and your prescription has to be stable. (Some people have a stable prescription at age 16, some don’t until they’re 25 or older.) They will occasionally perform surgery on younger people who have an occupational reason (e.g. a 17-year-old applying to be a police officer), but most people end up being in their early 20s by the time they can get it done.
To get the ‘top of the line’ stuff — bladeless wavefront/custom LASIK — you’d be looking at $4000-$6000.
