LASIK eye surgery may dramatically improve your life and the way you see it. Your candidacy depends on a comprehensive vision exam by an experienced eye doctor to determine your personal visual needs and if LASIK is a good fit for you.
Before going to your LASIK eye surgery consultation there are some general criteria that can guide you in deciding if this is the right procedure for you. To have laser eye surgery you should be in good eye health, good overall health, and have realistic expectations of the LASIK procedure.
LASIK laser eye surgery can correct some eye problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. After your free eye consultation, you will have the chance to discuss the different laser eye surgery options and discover which procedure would benefit your current condition and lifestyle.
LASIK Candidates Should have Overall Good Health
⦁ You must be at least 18 years old.
⦁ If you have diabetes or certain autoimmune diseases, they must be controlled to be a good candidate for LASIK eye surgery.
⦁ Certain health conditions may require medications that can slow or prevent healing. You should tell your surgeon about all the medications you are taking and have taken in the last year.
⦁ While hormonal fluctuations caused by pregnancy can impact vision stability, please consult with your LASIK physicians and health care professionals about how soon after you welcome your new addition to the family you can enjoy your LASIK.
