Am I a Candidate for Corrective Laser Eye Surgery?

Are you a good LASIK candidate?

Only a qualified LASIK professional can tell you for sure if you are a candidate. The following criteria are to see if you meet the basic LASIK requirements to proceed with an evaluation for corrective laser eye surgery:

• You need to be at least 18 years old
• Your vision/prescription has been stable for at least one year
• You need a prescription of a certain strength to see clearly in the distance and this strength of prescription must meet FDA-approved guidelines for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
• You also must be willing to accept the potential risks, complications and side effects.
• You should have a healthy cornea, retina, and eye pressure.
• The cornea must have sufficient thickness.
• You should have no other major eye diseases.
• You should have no evidence of collagen vascular or autoimmune disease.
• You should not be pregnant or nursing.
• You should not have a recent history of herpes infection of the eye.
• You should have realistic expectations about the outcome of surgery.

The following conditions will prevent you from being considered a candidate for corrective laser eye surgery:

• Active eye inflammation or infection
• Severely dry eyes
• Excessive corneal disease or scarring
• Degenerative disease of the cornea (e.g. keratoconus)
• Uncontrolled diabetes
• Pregnant and Nursing mothers
• Inadequate corneal tissue
• Certain rheumatological conditions (e.g. lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjorgens Disease)
