Lasek or ICL ?

Question

Hi, im 19 years old and I don't feel like waiting until I'm 21 to do the icl surgery, but I heard Lasek is good for people with high prescriptions -20. I'm planning on doing LASEK on my 20th birthday but I'm not sure if it’s right for me or not?

With -20, you don't need any kind of laser procedure. You need ICL. Not even close. How long has your prescription been stable?

Answer 3

Whether or not you "feel like waiting" has nothing to do with it.

You cannot decide to have Lasik when you turn 20. That's not a "magic number".

Your eye doctor will tell you when you can have Lasik. Your prescription needs to be stable for a certain period of time before the procedure is done.
