How old do you have to be to get the surgery?. I'm 16 years and how much could the surgery cost?

Unfortunately you have to be 18 years or older with a stable refraction. Hang in there, you're almost there!

All doctors will have an age minimum of at least 18 for Lasik. When I was researching the procedure, I noticed some facilities have a 21 year old age limit. You also will need to have a stable prescription for at least a year prior to the surgery.
Lasik on both of my eyes cost me $5500 (this was over a year ago, in Northern California), but I was not comfortable going to a doctor that advertised in the newspaper for $500 per eye. Sometimes you get what you pay for! Good luck to you!

I don't know about the age, Armando. But I seem to remember about $800 per eye, from a commercial. Perhaps you can find a web site that lists a price.
Good luck!
