Good candidate for lasik surgery?Chi
I recently went to my eye doctor and have now switched over to disposable contact lenses. The fact that i now wear disposable contact lenses, is there a chance that i might not be a good candidate for lasik surgery?

It depends on a few things- how old are you, has your eye RX been stable for a period of time, is there anything wrong with your vision (ie astigmatism) so you have enough cornea to have the surgery.These are the most important things they look at. I had surgery at the age of 27 with a stable RX and slight astigmatism, not sure if it was due to that, but I had to go a second time to get a touch up.Have you actually talked to your Dr about this procedure? Its really one you need to research and talk to him about.Good luck!

I had Lasik eye surgery done after wearing glasses for 16 years. It has been perfect for me. I have had no changes. Of course, as I age, I expect changes. I also co-manage refractive surgery and have seen hundreds of successful patients. It doesn't hurt, generally. There is a bit of pressure, but no real pain if you have LASIK. The PRK version (where no flap is cut) is a little more uncomfortable for the first few days following the procedure. I've seen several people who said they were in some pain, but healed just fine. I used to wear both glasses and contact lenses. I had LASIK done and it's the best decision I've ever made. I can see clearly, no squinting, no driving with glasses anymore. I can read road signs, see the individual leaves in the trees (they're not just a blurry mess anymore). It's also nice to be able to see what time it is when I wake up. The procedure is painless (although a bit uncomfortable) but takes less than 15 minutes. Highly recommended.
