Am I a Good Candidate for Lasik?

According to the Mayo Clinic, LASIK surgery is most appropriate for people who have a mild to moderate degree of nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and may also have astigmatism, which causes overall blurry vision.

A good candidate for refractive or laser eye surgery should :

1. Be atleast 18 years of age.
2. Stable eyeglasses and contact lenses prescription for at least 1 year  before undergoing LASIK.
3. You must be in good health and your eyes must be healthy.

Who's not a good candidate?

You're more likely to experience complications from LASIK surgery if you have certain medical conditions. These include:

·   Having a condition or taking medication that affects your immune system or healing (such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, HIV or diabetes). These can increase the risk of infection and other complications.

·     Persistent dry eyes.

·    Thin corneas, an extremely irregular corneal surface or a condition where the cornea thins and bulges outward into a cone shape (keratoconus).

·   Uncontrolled high pressure inside your eye

·   Pregnancy or breast feeding

·   Severe nearsightedness or diagnosis with a high refractive error. In this case, ICL (Implantable Contact Lens) may be a better option.

. If you have any condition that can affect how your eyes respond to surgery or healing afterwards, you must wait until that condition is resolved. Examples are severe dry eyes syndrome, conjunctivitis (pink eye), infections and any type of eye injury.

Corneal thickness and pupil diameter also play an important role in determining a proper candidate for LASIK. Due to the nature of the procedure, candidates must have a minimum required corneal thickness and pupil also should not be too large.

Every patient is unique and so are your eyes – each eye requires a careful examination with the most advanced technology.
