Hello, Age wise you can do it now or at 25... On the other hand, your power should remain stable for one year atleast. And depending on your corneal thickness, curvature etc ,the doctor will be able to decide. Lasik,prk ,or smile. There are many options.

Next Steps

Get a detailed check up done for the refractive surgery. And then you can decide.
