Oh my goodness! Funny you should ask: I just had it done yesterday. I'll be 51 next month and am far-sighted. The results were immediate. I have no regrets at all.
As for the "best age": Wait 'til your eyes have stabilized; wait 'til you're middle-aged (like I am). But even better: Ask your ophthalmologist.
I am so thrilled by the results! Hope you will be, too.

Laser eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Forerunners Healthcare. The Price for dental and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

20 years old is old enough. Once you have it done, I am sure that you will be pleased with the results, and glad that you didn't wait an additional ten years. You shouldn't have to have it redone either.

You have to ask a doctor if you are a good candidate for that. Some aren't. If you are, then go & do it, there is no limit as long as you are over 18.

I work in an eye clinic and I can tell you that after about age 20 is best.
