LASIK Eye Surgery 23 Questions To Consider

Do you want to know if you qualify for Lasik Eye Surgery? With the growing popularity of this surgical technique, it's become all the more important to separate the hype from the real facts.

Commiting to have Laser or LASIK Eye Surgery is a big decision, and before deciding you should ask yourself some simple questions. This way you will be confident you are taking the right form of vision correction.

• Do you have or have you ever had any problems with your eyes other than needing eyeglasses or contact lenses?
• Have you check your vision with an eye test?
• Do you have dry eyes?
• Do you have thin corneas?
• Do you wear glasses or contacts all the time, or only some of the time?
• Do you need an unusually strong prescription?
• Do you take steroids or other drugs that might prevent healing?
• Has your prescription changed in the last year?
• Does your job prohibit refractive surgery?
• Can you really afford this method of eyesight improvement?
• Do you have a chronic illness that might slow down or alter your healing?
• Do you have an autoimmune disease or other major illness?

You might be prepared to make the decision, maybe your vision has been deteriorating over the last years, and you really need an eyesight improvement. But maybe you are not the ideal candidate for refractive surgery. That is why you should still answer more questions prior to having Laser Eye Surgery.

• Do you have myopia, astigmatism, or presbyopia?
