Are you a Candidate?
LASIK is a medical procedure that requires specific physical and medical conditions be met before it can be considered ‘right’ for any patient. A reputable surgeon will on average reject around 20% of applicants for LASIK, however most people over age 18 who suffer from nearsightedness, farsightednessor astigmatism can be helped.
The thickness of your cornea, the health of your eye, the amount of refractive error, and the effects of aging all play a part in determining whether your eyes are well-suited for LASIK.
A thorough eye exam is the only way to determine if LASIK can achieve your expectations. The exam should include full corneal mapping (topography), corneal thickness measurement, and measurement of your pupil size to ensure that LASIK is right for you.
Here’s a simple checklist to help you determine if you’re in the ball-park for LASIK, but bear in mind that here at the Eye Center of Central Georgia we provide a full range of alternatives to LASIK in the event that it’s not the best vision correction procedure for your eyes:
√ Are Over 18√ Have no history of eye disease
√ Have stable distance vision
√ Are in good overall health
