LASIK eye surgery is only suitable for certain candidates. The ideal candidate should be over 18, who has had stable vision and an optical prescription for at least the last two years. Those with only mild long-sightedness, short-sightedness or astigmatism may not be suitable candidates. LASIK eye surgery is usually only performed on healthy adults and it will not be performed on patients whose eyesight has altered significantly over the last 12 months, as this indicates that their eyesight is still changing. Patients with diabetes, arthritis or who are pregnant may also be unable to undergo LASIK eye surgery. Speak to a physician for more information on who is eligible and who is not eligible for this type of surgery.
