Are all patients who wear glasses and contact lenses, good candidates for LASIK/PRK/CK procedures?
Patients need to be between the ages of 18 and 65 years for these procedures. The prescription of younger eyes between 18 and 21 tend to change more, while patients between 60 and 65 may have the presence of cataract which means they don’t qualify for any of these procedures. This depends on the amount and type of cataract present, so our surgeons would still like to have the opportunity to examine your particular situation. Another common reason patients do not safely qualify for these procedures, stems from their eyes being too flat, too steep, or too thin. These are easily determined by your surgeon at the time of your consultation exam.
