Am I A Good LASIK Candidate?

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

• At least 18 years of age

• In good general health

• Free of eye diseases that affect vision or healing

• Not pregnant or breast feeding

• Visually stable (no major change to glasses or contact lens prescription for at least one year)

• Not in an immuno-compromised state

Other factors that could make you a poor candidate will be analyzed during your free LASIK consultation.
