You want to\nhave the procedure, but you are wondering whether you are a candidate. Our experienced\nsurgeons at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eyeconsultantsofpa.com\/\">Eye\nConsultants of Pennsylvania<\/a> use several criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To have\nany surgical procedure, a patient must be in good general health. Most patients\nare, so most patients are good LASIK candidates. Patients with health issues\nlike heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid\narthritis, lupus and others) are at higher risk. Patients who take medications\nlike corticosteroids may not be good candidates because these medications\ninterfere with healing. At your initial visit, we will review your complete health\nhistory to determine your candidacy. We can even work directly with your primary\ncare physician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eye Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally,\nyour eye health is a primary factor that will determine whether you are a LASIK\nsurgery candidate. People with existing eye conditions like cataracts, glaucoma\nor other eye diseases may not be candidates. During your initial consultation,\nwe perform an extensive eye exam using many tests to comprehensively screen for\nthese eye issues. We will examine the health of your corneas as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some patients have very thin or misshapen corneas which is less\nthan ideal for LASIK surgery. Why? Since LASIK involves reshaping the cornea to\ncorrect vision problems, these conditions may mean that we cannot achieve\nvision correction in these cases. Furthermore, we only perform the surgery on\npatients who have ocular maturity, a fancy way of saying we generally do not perform\nthe procedure on patients under age 18 because the eyes are still maturing and\nchanging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Required Correction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another factor that we consider at Eye Consultants of\nPennsylvania is the amount of vision correction you need. Since we use the\nbladeless (all-laser) LASIK technique, we can actually correct much higher\nlevels of refractive error for nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have extensive discussions with you about your expectations\nfor vision correction, and make sure those are in line with the correction we\nare able to provide. While we can correct for very high levels of refractive\nerror, all-laser LASIK still has some limitations. A critical part of this\nprocess is ensuring that your expectations are in line with the realities of\nthe surgery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Highly Skilled Surgeons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We strive to make sure that all of our patients are very\nwell-informed about all aspects of the LASIK surgery, so we believe in spending\nhowever much time it takes during the initial consultation to have these\ndiscussions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The highly skilled surgeons at Eye\nConsultants of Pennsylvania are PA leaders in LASIK eye surgery. Regardless of\nwhich of our convenient locations you visit in Berks, Lancaster, Lebanon,\nMontgomery and Schuylkill counties, you will have an enjoyable experience and\nget the answers you need regarding all your questions about LASIK.
