Questions about LASIK

Am I eligible for LASIK?

While most patients are eligible for LASIK, not everyone is. Some individuals who are not eligible for LASIK may be eligible for other forms of refractive surgery. Those who are deemed ineligible for LASIK may wish to discuss alternatives with their ophthalmologist.

Eligibility depends on the amount of refractive error, the curvature and thickness of the cornea and a number of other factors that an ophthalmologist must evaluate. The following questionnaire is designed to help you understand a few of the criteria your ophthalmologist will review and evaluate.
