Am I a Candidate for LASIK eye surgery? involves considering several factors are considered. You should be at least 18 years old with a stable prescription for at least one year. LASIK can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism if your prescription is within treatable ranges. Your eyes must be healthy, free from conditions like severe dry eye, keratoconus, or corneal scarring. 

LASIK isn’t recommended if you’re pregnant, nursing, or have certain autoimmune or chronic conditions that may impair healing. A comprehensive eye exam by an ophthalmologist will assess critical factors such as corneal thickness, pupil size, and overall eye health to confirm your eligibility and ensure the procedure's safety and effectiveness.
