Who is a Lasik Candidate

1
Who is a Lasik Candidate? 

• Just like any procedure, Lasik requires a person
  to be in relatively good health before the
  treatment. Who qualifies for the treatment? Keep
  reading, and we will give you the details.

• What makes a good Lasik candidate
• A person over the age of 18 can have
  a Lasik procedure. One thing to remember is that
  your vision
• should be stable for at least two years before
  you have this treatment. It may be necessary to
  wait
• until your mid-twenties if you have problems with
  fluctuating vision or prescription changes every
• year. Women who are pregnant or nursing will want
  to wait until they get clearance from the family
• physician to have Lasik. Pregnant women have
  ever-changing hormones that cause eye
  fluctuations.
• Anyone who is breastfeeding will need their
  energy to care for the baby, and it may be harder
  to
• heal from Lasik before your baby turns one year
  old.

• Other qualifications for Lasik
• Normal corneas are important. Sometimes, people
  with thin or irregular corneas are better suited
  for a
• different laser vision treatment like PRK. A
  good Lasik candidate will not have problems with
  eye
• infections or injuries. Patients need to be free
  of eye diseases and issues like glaucoma, macular
• degeneration, and cataracts. If you have issues
  with amblyopia or excessively dry eyes, then you
  should
• always tell your Lasik provider. The health of
  your eyes and your general physical condition
  make a
• difference. If you have chronic health issues
  like diabetes, then Lasik may or may not be the
  best
• treatment.

• Always inform your Columbus Lasik Vision provider
  of your general health, medications, physical
  activity, and
• hobbies to ensure they get a good picture of your
  lifestyle. Then you can decide together if this
  treatment is
• right for you or not.
