The FDA has approved excimer lasers for use in LASIK for patients as young as 18 years of age. Surgeons could perform LASIK in patients younger than 18 but such a treatment would be considered off-label.
The concern for younger patients is that the glasses prescription has not yet stabilized and the person would later need a second or third treatment in order to achieve best corrected vision.
