How do I know if I am a good candidate for LASIK Eye Surgery?

Only your surgeon can tell you for sure whether LASIK Eye Surgery is a procedure that is right for you and your type of vision problem. There are a variety of vision issues that cannot be corrected by LASIK, but you can't know for sure unless you go to a consultation first.

This is just one of the reasons it is so important to do your homework when considering LASIK Eye Surgery. There are many surgeons out there who will be willing to take chances and try to correct your vision problems knowing full well you can never achieve the kind of results you're looking for. This is the kind of surgeon you must steer clear of. Despite their promises, some people simply are NOT good candidates for this procedure. What's more important - a lifetime of seeing through glasses and contacts, or a lifetime of not seeing anything at all?

For those patients who ARE good candidates, unbelievable results can be expected. The overall satisfaction rate with the LASIK procedure has been said to be around 80%+. Most patients report no longer needing their glasses almost immediately after surgery. Moreover, years later, patients who have had LASIK still report almost perfect vision.
