Are you tired of dealing with the inconveniences of glasses or contact lenses? Dealing with vision limitations can be frustrating and restricting in your daily active life.

PRK can reduce or completely eliminate your dependence on prescription vision aids and make it simpler to live your life without interruptions caused by sight problems. The benefits of laser vision correction have helped to make it the number one elective surgical procedure in the world today.

While PRK can be very successful when performed on the right patient, this doesn’t mean that it is an ideal solution for everyone.
​​​​​​​
The following are some of the guidelines to qualify for laser vision correction:

• be a minimum of 18 years old

• have had stable vision for a minimum of 12 months (no prescription changes)

• have no history of corneal disease

• have no significant medical or ocular problems such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma or macular degeneration

• have a current prescription which falls between specific parameters which will be advised by your eye doctor

• not be pregnant or nursing

Of course, to ensure you are an good candidate and to achieve the best and most accurate results, a comprehensive evaluation by your surgeon should precede any decision for laser vision correction. At that time, a detailed discussion of options, as well as risks and benefits should allow for an informed decision on your part. Candidates should understand that while the vast majority eliminate their need for distance correction, some patients need enhancements to fine tune results, some may need glasses for certain tasks such as night driving, and almost all will need reading glasses after age 40 or 50.
