Hello…
Most LASIK eye surgeons will not perform the procedure on those under the age of 18 as vision tends to keep changing into early adulthood up to early 20s
I recommend you to have at least two years of annual eye exams prior to LASIK surgery in order to establish whether your eyeglass prescription is stable .
(usually any diopter change less than +/-0.50 is considered stable enough for LASIK).
Head ache- u need to take breaks in between while reading … blink ur eyes frequently… have thorough check up of ur retina once !

Hi,
If your glass number has not changed / minimal variation , over a period of 1 year, your eye power will be considered stable.
If you are getting headache, then it is advised to get your glass number checked once.
Refractive surgery is generally advised to be done after 20 years of age.
Next Steps
get your glass number checked with local ophthalmologist.
