Lasik Uk Cost
Is Lasik Eye Surgery ok for children? Please be specific!?
My child’s eyesight is -4.75. She is fourteen and she really wants to get rid of her glass. Thank for your helps! Is it ok to do lasik eye surgery in uk? How much will it cost?
Lasik would not be appropriate for your 14 year old daughter with a prescription of -4.75. The issue is much less her age and more the changes in her eyes.
Most people who have myopia (nearsighted, shortsighted) vision, such as your daughter, will experience fluctuations in vision until age 18-23. Lasik can only correct the refractive error of the moment and does not stop the eye from continuing its natural changes. All persons, no matter the age, need to have a minimum of two years of stable eyeglass prescription, and longer is absolutely better.
Additionally, there are some eye conditions that contraindicate Lasik that do not present their first symptoms in a person age 14, but may at a more mature age.
Some juveniles have had Lasik, however this handful of patents had very, very high refractive error and not correcting this error may have led to debilitating vision problems such as amblyopia.

The firs thing they’ll tell you if you call a lasik place is that you’re not old enough. Your eyesight is still changing at your age, they’ll tell you to wait until you mid 20s. Beyond that, though, I had it myself and it was the best money I ever spent (and I had it back when it was a lot more than it is now). More than 6 years now and perfect vision.
