Am I A
Candidate
for
LASIK?

Laser vision correction with LASIK is the most popular way for patients to improve their vision and no longer rely on glasses and contacts. The first question that many people ask is, “Am I a LASIK candidate?” Below Vision for Life will provides some general guidance on if you’re a LASIK candidate.

What Can Be Treated with LASIK?

LASIK technology has developed over the years to provide a comprehensive solution for patients. With LASIK, Vision for Life can correct:

  • Farsightedness

  • Astigmatism

Who is Not a Good Candidate for LASIK?

Dr. Horn may recommend other vision correction options if you have:

  • Chronic dry eye
  • Corneas that are too thin or flat
  • Certain medical conditions increase your chances of developing complications or side effects

Who is a Good Candidate for LASIK?

  • Have a stable glasses or contact lens prescription
  • Have mild to moderate myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism
  • You’re in overall good health with good ocular health.
  • Be able to heal properly from surgery
