Are you a good LASIK candidate?

LASIK is used to treat virtually all refractive conditions that cause distance vision to be unclear (near-sightedness, far-sightedness). LASIK cannot restore focusing flexibility for near objects, the normal aging process known as presbyopia. It does not create clear vision in an eye with amblyopia, otherwise known as "lazy eye."

Again, the vast majority of people that experience blurred vision can be treated with the LASIK procedure.

In general, to be eligible for LASIK you should:

Be at least 18 years of age

Must not be pregnant or nursing

Must have a correctable vision problem (near- or far-sightedness)

Have a stable prescription (the same prescription) for at least 1 year

Have healthy eyes

Be in good general health

Ranges for LASIK correction:	Low	Moderate	High
Myopia (Nearsightedness)	-1.0 to -3.0	-3.0 to -6.0	> -6.0
Hyperopia (Farsightedness)	+1.0 to + 2.0	+2.0 to +4.0	> +4.0
Astigmatism	0 to -1.0	-1.0 to -3.0	> -3.0
