While most patients are good candidates for LASIK\nsurgery, the procedure is not right for everyone. If you are wondering whether\nyou are a LASIK candidate, come to the best LASIK eye specialists in Reading,\nPA at Eye Consultants of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your\nState of Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nfirst thing we will want to determine is whether you are healthy and whether\nyour eyes are healthy. We conduct a detailed questionnaire regarding your\ngeneral health. There are certain medical conditions that can make the LASIK\noutcome less predictable or that can increase your risks associated with this\nsurgery. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Diabetes<\/li><li>Immune system diseases that affect your healing ability or make\nyou more prone to infection (HIV, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune disorders,\netc.)<\/li><li>Immunosuppressant medications<\/li><li>Chronic pain conditions<\/li><li>Depression<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Next\nwe will determine your eye health. Typically, patients who have no unusual\nvision problems and who have a moderate degree of refractive error are good\ncandidates. We will ask detailed questions regarding your eye health, and\nconduct several examinations designed to determine current state of vision and\noverall eye health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients\nwho have eye disease, thin corneas, eyelid disorders and eye injuries may not\nbe candidates. Furthermore, patients who have large pupils may not be LASIK\ncandidates as the surgery can make glare a big problem. People with cataracts\ncannot have LASIK, but should come see us about cataract surgery, in which we\ncan also correct for your vision. Finally, LASIK may make dry eye worse, so we\nwill have to look carefully at that condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While\nLASIK can correct most vision issues, the surgery is not designed to correct\nhigh levels of refractive error, so we will discuss the risks and benefits with\nyou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stable\nVision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If\nyou are under 18, we don\u2019t condone LASIK surgery because your eyes are still\nchanging and your vision is not yet stable. In particular, teenagers with\nmyopia definitely continue to experience vision changes throughout the teen\nyears and perhaps even longer. Likewise, people over age 40 often have\nage-related changes in vision called presbyopia, so you may not be a candidate\nuntil your vision is stable. Other temporary conditions, such as taking steroid\nmedications or being pregnant cause temporary vision changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In\nall of these cases, we will wait until your vision has stabilized before\nconsidering you to be a candidate for LASIK surgery. In people with stable\nvision, the track record for LASIK surgery results is very, very good. Most\npeople achieve 20\/25 vision or better. After age 40, you still may need glasses\nfor reading or driving at night. Your eyes still age, despite having LASIK, so\naging conditions like presbyopia still occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your\nspecific results will depend on the amount of refractive error you have and\nother factors, such as whether you already have dry eye before LASIK. This\nsurgery is most successful for people with mild nearsightedness. While we can\nuse LASIK to correct for higher degrees of nearsightedness or farsightedness\nand even astigmatism, patients must understand that results are less\npredictable in these cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If\nyou\u2019ve liked what you read, and are even more convinced now that you are a good\ncandidate for LASIK surgery, come see us at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eyeconsultantsofpa.com\/\">Eye Consultants of Pennsylvania<\/a>, the best LASIK eye specialists in Reading, PA.
