Individual preparation requirements may vary.

Questions to Ask Before LASIK

Before deciding on LASIK, it is useful to understand exactly what the procedure involves and what results can reasonably be expected.

Important questions include:

• Am I suitable for LASIK?
• Is my prescription stable?
• Is my cornea healthy enough for treatment?
• Is my corneal thickness adequate?
• Do I have dry-eye problems?
• What level of vision improvement can I realistically expect?
• Could I still need glasses?
• What are the potential risks for my eyes?
• How long is the expected recovery?
• What activities should I avoid after surgery?
• How many follow-up examinations are required?
• What symptoms should require immediate medical attention?
• Are there alternatives that may be more suitable?

Having these questions answered can help a person make a more informed decision.

When LASIK May Not Be Appropriate

LASIK may not be suitable for everyone.

Extra caution may be required in people with:

• An unstable glasses prescription.
• Certain corneal disorders.
• Very thin corneas.
• Significant untreated dry eye.
• Certain medical conditions.
• Problems that may affect wound healing.
• Previous eye surgery.
• Active eye infection or inflammation.
• Certain medications or health conditions.

People who participate in contact sports should also discuss the potential effects of eye trauma and the suitability of refractive surgery.

A complete eye examination is necessary to determine whether LASIK is appropriate.
