LASIK Eye Care Needs

Here are some important necesseties to consider when choosing LASIK eye surgery. If all things are in order, than you give yourself a greater opportunity for the surgery to go off succesfully. If these things are not kosher, than you may want to reconsider the plastic surgery procedures.

1. Your eyes must be healthy. If you have any condition that can affect how your eyes respond to surgery or heal afterwards, you must wait until that condition is resolved. Examples are chronic dry eyes and any injury. Some conditions, such as cataracs that interfere with your vision, and glaucoma, may disqualify you completely.

2. You must be an adult. By law, certain procedures require you to be 18; others, 21. Younger patients can be treated as an exception.

3. You must have stable vision for at least a year. Many young adults experience changes in their eyeglass and contact lens prescriptions in the teenage years. Vision stabilizes most often sometime in their 20s. Usually, it is nearsightedness gradually becoming worse, but there may be other changes as well. They are not good candidates until their eyes have "settled down" into one prescription. Your doctor can tell you whether your prescription is stable.
