Determining if You're a Candidate for LASIK
Before undergoing LASIK surgery, we conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if you're a good candidate for the procedure.
Ideal candidates are typically at least 18 years old, have had a stable prescription for at least a year, and have healthy corneas and overall eye health. LASIK works best for patients with mild to moderate refractive errors, such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), or astigmatism.
However, not everyone qualifies for LASIK. Conditions like very thin corneas, severe dry eye, or certain eye diseases (such as glaucoma or cataracts) can disqualify you from the procedure.
Additionally, individuals with autoimmune disorders or those who are pregnant or nursing may not be ideal candidates due to potential complications during healing.
Pre-Surgery Preparation
We’ll guide you through the pre-surgery preparation phase as part of our co-management services. This includes performing additional diagnostic tests to assess the shape and thickness of your corneas and ensure your eyes are healthy for surgery. We’ll also review your medical history and address any concerns you may have.
In the days leading up to your surgery, you’ll need to stop wearing contact lenses, as they can affect the shape of your cornea. We’ll provide detailed instructions on how to prepare for the day of your surgery, including avoiding certain products like makeup or lotions that could interfere with the procedure.
Post-Surgery Follow-Up
After your surgery, we’ll schedule several follow-up visits, typically within 24 to 48 hours after surgery and then periodically over the next few months, to monitor your recovery and assess your vision, checking for signs of complications like dry eye, infection, or inflammation.
Most patients experience improved vision within days of surgery, but it’s important to follow post-surgery care instructions, including using prescribed eye drops to reduce inflammation and prevent infection.
