Am I a Candidate?
LASIK is used to treat virtually all refractive conditions that cause distance vision to be unclear. LASIK cannot restore focusing flexibility for near objects, the normal aging process known as presbyopia. It does not create clear vision in an eye with amblyopia,
otherwise known as "lazy eye."
Again, the vast majority of people that experience blurred vision can be treated with the LASIK procedure. In general, to be eligible for LASIK you should:
- Be at least 21 years of age
- Have a stable prescription (the same prescription) for about 1 year
- Have healthy eyes
- Be in good general health
Ranges for LASIK correction: |
Myopia |
- .75 up to - 14.00 Diopters |
Astigmatism |
Up to - 4.00 Diopters |
Hyperopia |
