After your eyes have had a stable Rx for at least two years, which for most people puts them in the 22-25 age group.

FDA information pages below.
LASIK is a laser based vision correction procedure where your vision can be corrected to such a degree that you no longer need corrective lenses. And the incredible part is that it all happens in just a few minutes!
Reckon about that – no more glasses or friend lenses. What a relief – never having to hunt for your glasses or fool around with contacts. LASIK eye surgery can place a quick end to all that.
But LASIK eye surgery isn’t right for everyone. You need to meet certain requirements before submitting to LASIK eye surgery.
Here are a few of the guidelines used in seminal if LASIK is a excellent choice for you –
* You should be over 18 years of age.
* Your corneas must be healthy.
* You should not have had a significant change in your lens prescription in the last 12 months.
* Women should not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
* You should be in excellent general shape.

There is no strict age requirement. But, most individuals by the age of 20-21 have reached a point at which their glasses prescription will remain relatively stable. The key to being a excellent candidate is that your glasses and/or friend lens prescription should be relatively stable.
Usually it is 25 and over, but you should read up on FDA findings and see whether this is a excellent option for you. They keep finding new things about laser eye surgery that may discourage you from going owing to it.
