When is the earliest I can get LASIK?
John C. asked:
What is the minimum age for someone to get LASIK? I’m joining the military after High School and I really would rather not have to deal with any more contacts or glasses, so please tell me.
And I’m going to get it after I join the Army, so they will pay for it. What age do they suggest?

You have to be at least 18.

18, but you might be able to get it at 17 if you are super lucky. Just because your “calender” age isn’t 18 years old doesn’t mean that your “body” age is 17. I know this answer is dumb…

18-21 and your glasses rx must be stable for two years.
