| Am I a good candidate for LASIK?
Laser vision correction can treat a very broad range of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.
The best way for you to determine if you are a good candidate for LASIK is with a thorough exam from your eye doctor and by answering the following questions.
- Are you 18 years old or more?
- Are you in good general health?
- Do you have good eye health with no diseases such as cataracts or glaucoma?
- Have you had the same contact lens or glasses prescription for a year or more?
- Are you comfortable with a reasonable amount of risk?
- Does your employer and/or health insurance cover refractive procedures or are you prepared to manage the cost?
Through an initial consultation with your Dr. McArdle and his staff, we’ll confirm if you are a good candidate, explain the procedure, and answer your questions so that you can make an informed decision. We are dedicated to doing what is best for you, our patient.
