LASIK can help increase your
confidence because it eliminates the need for thick prescription glasses
and the inconvenience of contact lenses. In addition, VISX laser systems
require a shorter procedure time and shorter recovery time because the
wound heals quickly. The patient is able to see immediately after the
procedure. However, if you would like to have a laser vision correction,
you must possess the following qualifications:
|
|
You must be at least 20 years old. |
|
|
Your vision must be stable for at least 1 year before the laser procedure. |
|
|
Wearing glasses or contact lenses is inconvenient
when working, performing daily activities, or impedes your ability
to perform certain activities/hobbies such as sports. |
|
|
You are not pregnant or breastfeeding. |
|
|
You are not taking certain medication, such as Roaccutane or Prednisolone. |
|
|
You do not have any cornea disease or other types
of eye diseases, such as retina detachment, cataract, glaucoma, and
dry eye syndrome. |
|
|
You must be healthy and do not have serious
diseases, such as diabetes and lupus, degenerative or autoimmune
diseases. If you are unsure, please consult your physicians before
undergoing treatment. |
|
|
Have a proper understanding of the expected results after LASIK surgery. | |
