Am I a candidate for laser vision correction?
The only way to ascertain whether you are a good laser vision correction candidate is to undergo a refractive consultation. We find that about 15% of patients we meet are not good candidates by our strict standards. Here are some conditions that may contraindicate laser vision correction:
- Age below 18 years
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Certain eye conditions, such as glaucoma, cataracts, herpes virus eye infections, keratoconus, or severe dry eye
- Unstable glasses prescription over the past year
- Certain collagen vascular diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren’s syndrome, and lupus
- Unrealistic expectations
