For example if the legal age is 18, can you be 17 to APPLY for it and wait until you’re 18 to have it done or do you have to be 18 to apply? Is the legal age in the UK 18 or 21? Also, what happens during the procedure and afterwards?
Thanks 
The main issue is that you want to wait until your eyesight is stable (no longer getting worse). Otherwise, if they do the procedure too soon and your eyes get worse afterwards, you will either have to get glasses again (after spending a lot of money to not wear glasses), or go through the risks and inconvenience of having the procedure re-done; neither would be pleasant.
What this all means is, usually you shouldn’t do the procedure until your early 20’s or later.
I think there are several websites that explain all about the procedure. Keep in mind that there are various things that can go wrong (although only a small percentage of the time) . You want to research the success rate of whoever you contemplate having do the procedure, this is not the time to go with the "low bidder".

I want to have laser eye surgery, but i found out from a friend that you could have a layer of your eye tear away and you’ll be left with nothing but excruciatingly blurry vision. Is this true? I was planning on joining the Marine Corps without glasses or contacts. If there are any other side effects please don’t forget to mention them, thank you!
First go to your regular eye specialist for advice. I had my first left eye laser 12 years ago, I felt good without even the right eye off contact lens. 6 years ago, had my right eye done with the laser surgery, as I have the experience already with my left eye with regular checks by my eye doctor. I am very happy with the laser surgery, now that I can go without glasses, and my eyesight has been corrected without difficulty in reading small article prints. Before you go for the laser eye surgery, please put off your contact lens for a couple of months to stabilise your eye. My experience that I went off contact lens only 1 day before my right surgery, my nerves were not stabilised yet, there was a little bleeding.
Anyway, the surgery was good. I am happy that I have done the laser eye surgery, as I am free without glasses with no difficulty in reading and driving at night In my family, my elder sister, 2 nieces have also done with laser eye surgery. Nowadays, cataracts and a minute-dot hole, are all done by laser surgery, I had one such surgery with a tiny hole on my right eye. After surgery, always have regular check-up. Anyway, get advice and check whether you are eligible for the surgery as some are not.
