Are You a Candidate for Laser Eye Surgery?

For many people, laser eye surgery can provide clear vision without contacts or glasses. It’s often an option for people who are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism, though it’s not right for every person.

We can assess whether you’re a candidate for LASIK or PRK eye surgery during a laser eye surgery consultation and help you prepare for your procedure.

Who Can Get Laser Eye Surgery?

You may be a good candidate for laser vision correction if you:

Are at least 18
Have a stable prescription
Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
Are in good health
Have healthy eyes

Your Consultation

Your laser eye surgery consultation includes a comprehensive eye exam, which assesses your eye health and determines your current prescription.

We’ll also explain the potential risks of laser eye surgery during this appointment. These risks may include:

Dry eyes that may last weeks, months, or longer after surgery
Difficulty seeing at night due to halos or glare from lights for a few weeks post-surgery
Undercorrection or overcorrection, which may require a subsequent surgery

We’ll also talk about your expectations for your results. It’s good to know that you’ll likely need to wear glasses again at some point. For example, presbyopia, which is a natural aging change to your near vision, typically starts in your 40s, regardless of any past corrective surgery.
