WHO MAKES A GOOD LASIK OR VISION CORRECTION CANDIDATE?


To make an appointment for a consultation to discuss the whether you would be a good candidate for LASIK or other vision correction alternatives, call 800LaserDr (527-3737) and we will connect you to a highly-qualified laser vision correction specialist near you, so you can be on your way to clear vision.


LASIK is used to treat virtually all refractive conditions that cause distance vision to be unclear (near-sightedness, far-sightedness). LASIK cannot restore focusing flexibility for near objects, the normal aging process known as presbyopia. It does not create clear vision in an eye with amblyopia, otherwise known as "lazy eye."

Again, the vast majority of people that experience blurred vision can be treated with the LASIK procedure.

In general, to be eligible for LASIK you should:

Be at least 18 years of age
Must not be pregnant or nursing
Must have a correctable vision problem (near- or far-sightedness)
Have a stable prescription (the same prescription) for at least 1 year
Have healthy eyes
Be in good general health
Ranges for LASIK correction:
                                                       Low          Moderate        High
      Myopia (Nearsightedness)      -1.0 to -3.0    -3.0 to -6.0     > -6.0
      Hyperopia (Farsightedness) +1.0 to + 2.0   +2.0 to +4.0    > +4.0
      Astigmatism                            0 to -1.0      -1.0 to -3.0     > -3.0
