Who Is a Good Candidate for LASIK?
LASIK isn’t one-size-fits-all. The first step is determining whether you’re a good candidate. Our team carefully evaluates your eyes, health, and lifestyle to make sure LASIK is safe and effective for you.
Typical LASIK Candidates
- Age 18 or older
- Stable vision prescription for at least a year
- Healthy corneas
- No major eye diseases (like glaucoma or cataracts)
What About Astigmatism or High Prescriptions?
Good news: LASIK can treat astigmatism and a wide range of nearsightedness and farsightedness. However, very high prescriptions may require alternatives.
Health Conditions That May Limit LASIK
Certain factors may disqualify you, such as:
- Autoimmune disorders
- Severe dry eye disease
- Thin or irregular corneas
That’s why a thorough exam with Drs. Campbell, Cunningham, Taylor, & Haun is essential.
