The Ideal Candidate
 In
general, the ideal candidate for LASIK is over 18 years of age and
has healthy corneas. Candidates must not have had a significant
increase in their prescription in the last 12 months. People with
certain medical conditions or women who are pregnant may not be
good candidates for LASIK.
Realistic Expectations
The decision to have LASIK is an important one that ultimately,
only you can make. It is important that you have realistic expectations
and that your decision is based on facts, not hopes or misconceptions.
The goal of LASIK is to reduce your dependence on corrective lenses.
LASIK does not always create 20/20 or even 20/40 vision. It cannot
correct a condition known as presbyopia, or aging of the eye. This
normally occurs around age 40 and may require the use of reading
glasses. In fact, people over 40 who have their distance vision
improved with LASIK, may find they need reading glasses after the
procedure. Your doctor will provide you with additional information
that will allow you to make an informed decision.
In the Blink of an Eye
It takes only seconds to treat a lifetime of nearsightedness, farsightedness
and astigmatism Find out if you are a candidate for this life changing
procedure by calling your eye doctor to schedule a personal consultation.
Should your vision fall within the range of correction for LASIK,
more comprehensive tests may be necessary.
