LASIK is a revolutionary refractive surgery that helps address vision conditions like hyperopia and myopia. It also serves as a legitimate cure for astigmatism. With its exceptionally high success rate, many people have turned to LASIK for crystal clear vision.

If you have specific issues with your vision that you are looking to address, LASIK could be your ticket to clear vision. Since this procedure deals with something so important to us as humans, our vision, it is essential to understand what factors make a good candidate.

Am I a Good Candidate For LASIK?

Some key factors can help determine whether or not you make a good candidate for LASIK eye surgery.

• You must be 18 years of age or older.
• If you have diabetes or conditions that affect your autoimmune system, you must have them under control.
• You should be in good overall health.
• You should avoid certain eye diseases like keratoconus, severe cataracts, or retinal and optic nerve diseases.
• You should not be pregnant or nursing as a hormone fluctuation can cause the procedure instability.
• The thickness of your cornea must fall into an adequate range. Your eye doctor can conduct this test.
