LASIK at 21. Is it too young?

March 4, 2015
Asked By:anon33151

I have awful vision I believe it's a minus 6 and I can't function without glasses. I'm not a big fan of wearing contacts because they irritate my eyes a lot. Now I've heard that doing Lasik young means there is a chance of relapse when you get older and this is not correctable. Is 21/22 too young?
