Am I a Candidate?

Some patients are not good candidates for refractive surgery and LASIK.   

Patients who are candidates:

  • At least 18 years of age
  • In good general health
  • No eye diseases that affect vision or healing
  • Not pregnant or breast feeding
  • Glasses or contact lens
  • Prescription stable for at least one year
  • Not be in an immunocompromised state

There are other eye factors that could make you a poor candidate which will be analyzed during your free LASIK consultation.
