Considering LASIK? Start with a Candidacy Evaluation at Our Office

If you’ve ever dreamed of waking up and seeing clearly without reaching for your glasses or contact lenses, LASIK might sound like the perfect solution. This laser vision correction procedure has helped millions achieve clearer vision with lasting results. But before scheduling surgery, it’s important to determine if you’re a good candidate.
 

What Is LASIK?

LASIK is a popular and highly effective laser eye surgery designed to correct common vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure reshapes the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) so that light entering the eye can focus more precisely on the retina, resulting in clearer vision. Performed in just minutes per eye, LASIK is known for its quick recovery time and long-lasting results, allowing many patients to significantly reduce or even eliminate their dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
 

Why a LASIK Candidacy Evaluation Matters

LASIK isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment. A candidacy evaluation ensures that your eyes are healthy and that the procedure will deliver safe, effective results. During your evaluation, our optometrists will thoroughly assess your eye health, vision prescription, and corneal structure to determine if LASIK is right for you.
 

What to Expect During Your Evaluation

Your LASIK candidacy evaluation will include a comprehensive series of tests and scans to assess your eye health in detail. These measurements help our team evaluate key factors such as corneal thickness, pupil size, and tear film quality, all of which play an important role in determining whether LASIK is a safe and effective option for you.
 

In addition to these diagnostic tests, we’ll review your medical and vision history and take the time to understand your visual goals. If LASIK isn’t the ideal solution for your eyes, our doctors will recommend alternative vision correction procedures tailored to your needs, helping you achieve sharper, more comfortable vision through the best possible approach.
