Are you a good candidate for vision correction?
In order to know with 100% assuredness that you are a candidate for vision correction, you will need to have an examination with your surgeon. However, by answering the following questions, you can determine whether or not you might be a good candidate.
A patient needs to be at least 18 years old (21 in some cases) and has to have had a stable refractive error (prescription) over the past twelve months. The patient should have healthy eyes and body. He/she should be free from eye disease (i.e. glaucoma, cataracts, retinal issues, or strabismus/lazy eye), infection, injury, previous eye surgery, excessive dryness, scarring, etc. and should not be affected by an autoimmune disorder or other unregulated conditions that could potentially alter vision (i.e. diabetes, pregnancy). Other indications might include having extremely large pupils or thin corneas, or just having unrealistic expectations.
By scheduling a free, no-obligation consultation, your particular needs and questions can be addressed by one of our professional, non-commissioned refractive coordinators.
Which procedure may be best for you?
Age, prescription, and expectations are probably the biggest factors in determining which procedure is best for you. As long as there are no contraindications to you having surgery (see above), the following is a general guideline as to which procedure might be best for you.
