Like all surgical procedures, LASIK has the risk of complications, and even complication-free procedures can result in less than 20/20 vision. Are you willing to educate yourself about the potential risks, accept a reasonable risk if you are an appropriate candidate, and comply with a schedule of post-surgery medications and follow-up exams?

If you are considering LASIK, we recommend making an appointment with an eye care professional to have a thorough eye examination, including tests which will help determine whether or not LASIK is right for you. This assessment will accurately determine if you are a candidate for LASIK or if there are some factors of which you were unaware, which may affect your ability to undergo LASIK.
One or more of your responses indicated a need for more information and/or potential issues that might affect your ability to undergo LASIK.
Please keep in mind that although our web-based LASIK screening is a good information tool, only a thorough, in-person examination and evaluation by a qualified eye care practitioner can provide a final determination of whether you are a good LASIK candidate. Also, individuals who are not good candidates for LASIK may be able to have LASIK in the future as technology and new techniques are refined.
