Correction Procedures: LASIK
Contraindications
If you have any of the following, LASIK surgery may not be a viable option:
- Pregnancy or within 9 months post-partum
- Significant Eye Disease
- Systemic disease likely to affect wound healing such as insulin-dependent diabetes or severe atopic disease.
- History of Herpes Simplex or Herpes Zoster
- Uncontrolled vascular disease or autoimmune disease.
- Use of isotetinoin (Accutane), amiodarine (Cordarone), or sumatriptan (Imitrex)
- Inability to cooperate during the procedure
- Unrealistic Expectations: (Remember, refractive surgery is designed to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses. While many patients will achieve perfect, or near perfect, vision after surgery, some patients will require glasses or contact lenses to achieve clearer distance and/or near vision. Refractive surgery usually cannot improve vision to a level that is better than what was achieved with glasses prior to the surgery.)
