LASIK surgery is not suitable for everyone. To be a good candidate for LASIK, you should meet certain criteria such as being at least 18 years old, having healthy eyes, and having adequate corneal thickness. The procedure involves removing tissue from your cornea to reshape your eye, so conditions such as chronic dry eye problems, corneal diseases, and other abnormalities may disqualify you from having LASIK surgery.

To determine if you are a suitable candidate, a comprehensive eye exam is required. A preoperative exam and consultation can be provided by the clinic to check your suitability. It’s important to consider your expectations and willingness to accept a less-than-perfect outcome when deciding whether or not to have LASIK surgery. LASIK can reduce your dependence on glasses, but it doesn’t always create perfect vision, in some cases, your vision may be permanently less clear than it was with glasses before the procedure. It’s important to weigh the benefits and risks before deciding to have LASIK surgery.
