Am I a Candidate?

Do your contact lenses make your eyes feel dry, tired or "squinty"?

Do you find that you're switching from contacts to glasses in the late afternoon or evening due to eye fatigue?

Do your contacts or glasses interfere with your enjoyment of athletic activities,
your hobbies or your professional pursuits?

Are you tired of that endless cycle of cleaning, rinsing and disinfecting?

Would you like to get rid of that unsightly dent on the bridge of your nose?

Would you be fumbling around in the dark for your glasses in case of an emergency such as an earthquake or fire?

 

If you have answered yes to any of these questions and you are 18 years of age or older, you are probably a candidate for LASIK. Of course, you will have a complete eye examination prior to the procedure to insure that your eyes are free of cataracts, glaucoma or other eye disease, and that your vision has remained stable for the previous 12 months.

LASIK cannot correct the condition known as presbyopia, or aging of the eye, that normally occurs around age 40 and may require the use of reading glasses. In fact, people over 40 who have their nearsightedness reduced with LASIK may find they need reading glasses after the procedure.
