Laser eye surgery typically cost between $1,400 to $2,000 per eye. Most providers have financing plans available. Many providers offer free consultations to determine if you are a good candidate.
Most providers consider 18 years of age the minimum age for laser vision correction (LVC). LVC is a general term referring to both Lasik and PRK. It may be possible for you to have LVC at age 18, depending upon the amount of your refraction (glasses prescription), the stability of your refraction during the last several years, your general medical health, your family history, and other factors. I have treated many patients as young as 18 years old. However, I have also advised many patients in the 18 - 25 year old range that they need to wait a few more years to make sure their eyes are stable before proceeding.
