What makes a good candidate for lasik eye surgery?Dana I am wondering if there would be a reason a person would not be eligible to do it? For instance, is there a limit to how low your vision can be?
Chantay The best idea is to get an opinion from a surgeon or optometrist by having some sort of consultation. During your consultation, ensure that you have told them everything so that there are no problems. If you are taking prescription medicine, or if you have some allergies, ask if this will have any effect. Tell them your medical history and your family’s medical history, whether there is any glaucoma among relatives or if you had any eye injury.
Carrol Lasik eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star. http://www.indianhealthguru.comHope this helps.
Naomi If you have abnormally thin corneas, or if you have extreme shortsightedness, it may not be suitable for you. Don't worry, they'll give you a test at first to see if you can go for the surgery.
Ella A good candidate for Lasik eye surgery would be someone with a stigmatism.
Bennie If you have large pupils they usually won't do the surgery.
Dorathy I don't think so because my grandfather is diabetic and has had to have it and is going back again and I know he cannot see worth a @#$%
