How old do you have to be to get lasik eye surgery?
And if you’ve had it done what was it like?

I believe that you have to be at least 18 to have it.
I had mine in October of ‘06 and I can’t tell you how glad I am that I did!
I had pretty poor vision and was getting a prescription change twice a year…for glasses & contacts! My eyes were so tired, they became irritated by all contacts, so I had to switch to glasses only. Finally, I realized that the expense of all of these tests & prescriptions was out of control, so I go the surgery!
I had a consultation, where the office explained EVERYTHING wonderfully! They gave details about it all. The following week, I went in at 7 a.m. and left the office at about 9 a.m. with my vision! The procedure itself took only about 10 minutes. The rest was numbing eye drops, resting afterward, etc.
I highly recommend a TON of research into the place you choose to have it done. If they have great bedside manners and are willing to take time to explain everything, keep them!http://www.tlcvision.com/centers/chicago…
This link may have answers, too. It’s where I got mine done (and the same doc that did Tiger Woods’ surgery!).
Good luck & if you have more specific questions about the procedure, feel free to ask me.
I had Lasik eye surgery done after wearing glasses for 16 years. It has been perfect for me. I have had no changes. Of course, as I age, I expect changes. I also co-manage refractive surgery and have seen hundreds of successful patients. It doesn’t hurt, generally. There is a bit of pressure, but no real pain if you have LASIK. The PRK version (where no flap is cut) is a little more uncomfortable for the first few days following the procedure. I’ve seen several people who said they were in some pain, but healed just fine. I used to wear both glasses and contact lenses. I had LASIK done and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I can see clearly, no squinting, no driving with glasses anymore. I can read road signs, see the individual leaves in the trees (they’re not just a blurry mess anymore). It’s also nice to be able to see what time it is when I wake up. The procedure is painless (although a bit uncomfortable) but takes less than 15 minutes. Highly recommended.

i’m not sure what Lasik is, but if you mean laser eye surgery then i could give u some info. i’ve asked my doctor the same question, and he said, it is not recommended to get it done until your eye sight stops worsening. if it does not stop, meaning every year gets worse and worse then you should wait until your around 20,21 cuz thats the time when your eyesight naturally stops worsening and stays on one level of eye sight. so yea thats when you can get ur laser eye surgery done. i wanna get it too :p… right now im gonna try contacts, but its hard putting em in.. hopefully this helped you…

You need to be 21. That’s when most people prescriptions start settling down.
You have to be eighteen.
I have not had it done.
