Am I a Good Candidate for Vision Correction?

LASIK is a procedure that has provided millions of people with clear vision, but not everyone is considered a candidate for a laser vision correction procedure. In order to be considered a candidate for LASIK, you should meet certain criteria. A list of LASIK requirements can be found below, but it is important that you still meet with your eye doctor to discuss your specific vision correction needs.

Do you meet the following LASIK Requirements?

I'm nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism.
I'm between the age of 18 and 60.
My vision has been stable for at least 2 years.
I have no significant eye problems, or health issues that may affect my eyes.

During your appointment Dr. Slade or Dr. Baker will perform a thorough LASIK evaluation to make sure that you are a qualified candidate for LASIK. Since each set of eyes is unique, there is no way to actually determine your candidacy for LASIK until you have had your pre-operative LASIK evaluation. The pre-operative evaluation will involve a series of diagnostic tests. Below is a list of some items that are typically involved with the evaluation process:

Complete review of the overall health of the eye
The measurement of corneal thickness and shape, including corneal topography
Complete review of glasses and contact lens history
The measurement of your prescription and refractive error in each eye
Dilation of the eyes to check the health of the retina and optic nerve
Dilation will also help determine the actual absolute power of the eye
Custom LASIK measurement for higher order aberrations
Dry eye test
Measurement of pupil size in a very dark room

Once you've completed your pre-operative evaluation, Dr. Slade or Dr. Baker will determine your candidacy for LASIK or another laser vision correction procedure. If you feel that you meet the LASIK requirements and are interested in meeting with our experienced Houston eye doctors to learn more about your candidacy, please contact us today! 713.626.5544
