Is it possible for me to get lens or laser surgery?

Is it possible for me to get lenses or laser surgery even though I am only 14. I heard that you need to be 18 to get lenses. Also, how much does it cost for laser surgery?

1. You shouldn't at that age, your eyes aren't fully developed yet even though you might think so, ask your eye care professional first
2. I am 11 and i wear lenses. YOU MEAN CONTACT LENSES RIGHT? But, definitely don't get laser surgery until you are AT LEAST 20 years old!! talk to your doctor and see what he says.
3. I have plenty of patients who wear contact lenses successfully at 14. No one should have laser correction until he or she is finished growing and his/her vision has stabilized. I recommend waiting until age 22 or 23 (approximately the time one finishes college). I have been caring for patients who have these surgeries for 9 years and this is my best advice.
