Why does your vision need to stabilize before lasik surgery?

I am currently 20 and looking to get lasik surgery. However my vision hasnt been steady at all. Yet I really want to get it even if it is not stable. Whats the reasoning for doctors not wanting to do lasik on unstable vision?And can i get the surgery anyways?

Responses:

If your vision is unstable, then it will continue to change once you have had the lasik done too. This means that your prescription will come back after the surgery and all the money you spent on lasik was wasted
It's because if you get the surgery before your eyes are done changing, they will continue to change after the surgery, and in a year you will need gl es again. If you're willing to pay for lasik surgery to fix your eyes when they change every year, go ahead. Also, if your prescription is fluctuating BACK AND FORTH, when it finally stabilizes, it might turn out that they took too much off of your eye. They can never put back what they have taken away, and you could wind up needing gl es and not being able to get more surgery to fix it
On a stable prescription lasik completely cures your nearsightedness / farsightedness for many years. But if lasik is performed on an unstable prescription, then there is a high chance that a year after the surgery you would become nearsighted / farsighted again
well, if your vision hasn't stabilized, then after you have surgery there is no guarantee that your vision will not degrade still. it would be a waste of time and money to have lasik when your vision hasn't stabilized as you'd have to have it corrected again
I am gonna give you the same answer as those before me, but it proves it's the truth: it's a waste of money and discomfort because at such a young age a person hasn't yet reached a fully grown stage. It means your eyes are also still developing / growing. it means your eyesight can deteriorate or improve on its own, leaving the surgery worthless. I would wait another 5 to 6 years
Doctors do not recommend surgery for people in their early twenties, and teens. It has to be stable, or else you will be wasting a surgery and money. I would wait if I were you
