Zoe asked:


I really want corrective eye surgery(glasses my whole life, contacts never worked, etc.), but I’m afraid my eyes are still growing. (I guess a side question would be, when do eyes stop growing?) What age is a good age for corrective eye surgery? I’ve heard various things, like right after puberty to age 24. Please give a straight, informed answer, not the first result in a search. I really appreciate any help! Thank you!

Can you join the Navy if you’ve had laser eye surgery?

Wolf asked:


I’m scheduled for laser eye surgery, but I saw a disclaimer saying that you couldn’t do military or some law enforcement if you’ve had laser eye surgery, does anyone know what all the rules on this actually are? I checked the navy site and couldn’t find anything, I may have overlooked it though. I’m specifically concerned with navy, not so much other fields though I guess if you know them you can tell for them too.
