Question 3

Am I eligible for LASIK surgery?

Accepted Answer

Good LASIK candidates are above 18 years of age, have a stable glasses/contact lens prescription prescription for at least 1 year, have adequate corneal thickness, and no active eye diseases. A pre-surgery evaluation confirms eligibility.

LASIK results are permanent for most patients. About 10% of patients may need a touch-up procedure after 10-20 years if their prescription changes.

SMILE is a newer flapless procedure with a smaller incision, resulting in less dry eye risk and faster stabilisation. Standard LASIK creates a corneal flap before laser reshaping.

If your prescription changes significantly years after LASIK, an enhancement procedure can be performed if your corneal thickness allows it.
