Comprehensive Eligibility Assessment

Answer the following questions to help determine if you might be a good candidate for LASIK surgery.

Your Age

Current Age35 years
0 years70 years
Not a Candidate: LASIK is typically only performed on adults 18 years and older (most practices require 21+).
Presbyopia Note: After age 40, you may still need reading glasses due to age-related changes. Ask about monovision options.
What is Monovision?

Monovision is a technique where one eye is corrected for distance vision and the other for near vision. Your brain learns to use each eye for different tasks. This can reduce or eliminate the need for reading glasses after LASIK. It's not right for everyone, so your doctor will help you test this option before surgery.

Additional Screening: At 55+, early cataract screening is important before LASIK consideration.

Prescription Stability

Has your vision prescription been stable for the past 1-2 years?

Stability Required: LASIK typically requires 1-2 years of stable prescription.

Medical History Assessment

Select any conditions that apply. This helps determine candidacy and what to discuss with your doctor.

Important Note About Long-Term Projections

These projections assume continuous LASIK benefit. Many patients undergo cataract surgery in their 60s-70s, which includes vision correction and may affect long-term calculations. Your actual experience may vary based on individual factors.
