Is LASIK worth it?
Determining if laser vision correction is a suitable option depends on individual circumstances. An important part of making an informed decision is to undergo a comprehensive eye exam and consult with an eye doctor who specializes in laser vision correction. It may also be beneficial to speak with individuals who have undergone the procedure. Notably, one of the significant providers of laser vision correction procedures is the U.S. military for its personnel, including Air Force and Navy Jet pilots, where having excellent unaided vision is essential.
Am I a candidate for LASIK?
Most individuals are generally considered good candidates for LASIK or another laser vision correction procedure. However, approximately 15% of those interested in LASIK may not be suitable candidates. The only way to determine eligibility is through a thorough eye exam to assess eye health and vision correction needs. Additionally, reviewing your health history and current medications with your eye doctor during the LASIK consultation is crucial.
