The A to your Q

The A to your Q

Are my eyeballs safe? How do I know it's right for me?  Confusing much?.... These days people are asking tons of questions about LASIK, and with all the extensive research you're doing you'll be running out of hair soon with all the pulling!  Luckily you have us and we have Answers to your Questions! :)

We got you covered: is it for me?

Lasik surgery is generally not recommended for patients presenting with non correctable vision problems. (we're talking about magnifying glasses for your eyes!)
Non correctable vision problems may include any condition where the vision cannot be corrected to a useful degree with either

• glasses
• contacts
• or refractive surgery (Lasik/PRK)

Lasik is usually not recommended for patients that have abnormally thin, extremely warped, or extremely damaged corneas (the clear window at the front of the eye).

Yikes! Seeing double? Lasik is also not recommended for people that present with double vision because of an abnormal eye turn (strabismus) that is only corrected with glasses, it is recommended that these patients be consulted by a strabismus surgeon prior to proceeding with Lasik.

 Lasik surgery is generally not performed on patients with active ocular disease or infection, as well as patients with certain uncontrolled system problems, such as uncontrolled diabetes. The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for Lasik surgery is to visit Global Laser Vision in San Diego today for a comprehensive (and free!) Lasik Consultation. Give us a call!  We know you've been curious, so why not discover the possibilities? :)
