Can I Get Lasik If My Prescription Changes Before My Exam?

Indeed, you can. However, it isn’t recommended. If your vision is still in the process of changing, the results of your Lasik surgery will likely become imperfect down the road. If you are interested in Lasik surgery, Los Angeles patients find that is makes sense to consult with a Lasik surgeon before any vision correction can commence.

 

What Can Lasik Surgery Accomplish?

It has the potential to give you 20/20 vision, removing the need for glasses and contact lenses. Not only that but its effects are long-lasting. As a matter of fact, you can expect to have improved vision for nearly the rest of your life.

 

Facts of Lasik

  • Cutting-edge Technology. It uses Wavefront Custom Technology to achieve maximum precision and accuracy.

  • Proven Results. After the operation, 90% of patients report having improved vision without glasses.

  • Customization. The Lasik surgeon tailors every procedure to your eye. If you’re nearsighted in one and farsighted in the other, you’ll receive just the right treatment.

  • Eligibility. To qualify for an operation, you must be at least 18 years of age and your eyes must have a clean bill of health.

 

What Your Surgeon Says

When is your eyeglass prescription considered too severe? As a general rule of thumb, the operation can correct roughly +5.00 D of farsightedness, -10.00 diopters (D) of nearsightedness, and 3.00 D of astigmatism. However, all hope isn’t lost. You may simply be due for an alternative procedure.
