Generally you have to wait until your prescription had stabilized. If it is still changing, and you have the laser surgery, it is likely to continue to change after the procedure and so your prescription is likely to start coming back Baby

Your vision would have to be stable for approximately 2 years before considering Lasik.
So the answer is, “No”, you can’t have the surgery now. Transamgirl

leave everything and listen to me. having laser surgery isn’t the best option ok man. Only doctors who want to make money persuade people to do laser eye surgery? I know i’m not referring to your question but what i’m telling you is really important and may have a strong impact on your decision. Please don’t do the laser eye surgery.

Laser eye surgery is not safe!!
LASIK is one of them.
LASIK destroyed my life.
I lost my job and studies, and now I can not read without my eyes hurt due to dry eye.
I will regret for life.
Please,before surgery take this advice:
TOP TEN REASONS NOT TO HAVE LASIK SURGERY
Don’t Get LASIK
LIVING WITH LASIK
LASIK causes dry eye.
The dry eye is forever.
PD: LASIK was the worst decision of my life. LASIK promotes permanent conditions with no cure:
- Severe dry eyes (You might need eye drops for the rest of your life)
- Headache
- Eye pain
- Contrast sensitivity decreases
- Halos / starbusts might appear around lights
- Cant wear any more contact lenses in future.
- Double Vision
- Depression
- Loss of Visual Acuity
- Accelerated Aging of the Eye
- Lack of Natural Tear Production
- Each Year Post LASIK Vision Gets Progressively Worse
- Cell Tissue Mutation Sancho

No eye doctor will perform Lasik surgery on an eye that has still not stabilized in terms of its vision correction power. Once the prescribed vision correction has stabilized it would be up to you and your eye doctor to talk about the risks and benefits of Lasik surgery with your particular correction. After all you are looking to have surgery done on a healthy organ. The reason needs to be compelling. You always have the practical option of wearing contact lenses. Contact Lens King

Technically, you “could”, but I don’t think a responsible eye surgeon would do so, since you may end up needing glasses when they change, thus defeating the surgery. So if you find a surgeon who is willing, I would not do so, since you may need glasses again, and adding the risks of the procedure to it, it would not be worth it. ☆Purple Girl♀
