Am I a Good Candidate for LASIK?


For people who experience nearsightedness or myopia, glasses and contact lenses are not the only way to obtain 20/20 vision. While glasses and contacts are effective, they don’t eliminate the root cause of myopia. LASIK eye surgery is a quick procedure that corrects the underlying issue that prevents you from seeing far away objects.

 You’re a good candidate for LASIK if you meet the following criteria:

 

        You don’t have certain health problems, such as uncontrolled diabetes or conditions that compromise your immune system

        You don’t have certain eye diseases or eye problems, such as severe cataracts, retinal or optic nerve diseases, lazy eye, or eye muscle imbalances

        You’re at least 18 years old

        You don’t have any eye injuries or current eye infections

        You’re not pregnant or nursing

Your optometrist will ultimately determine whether you’re a good candidate for LASIK based on your medical history and overall health. If you have more questions or would like to schedule a consultation, please feel free to call your nearest optometry clinic Los Angeles CA today.
