Normally the eye stops growing by 18 years of age, but it is Laos important to have a confirmed record of stable refraction for a year at least. You may chose to wait appropriately

Hi..the number can be removed. But makes sense to wait for sometime .let 3 refraction 6 months apart be stable,  then go for it. Your doctor will guide you.
