is lasik eye surgery right for me

The choice to have LASIK eye surgery is a personal one and should not be taken lightly. There are many reasons someone would want to have laser vision correction. However, there are some reasons LASIK eye surgery may not be right for you including:

• Risk Aversion
  If you are not a risk taker or may be uncomfortable with the lack of long term data available, LASIK surgery may not be for you.
  
  
• Career Jeopardy
  Some employers and jobs prohibit refractive procedures. You should check with your employer and/or professional society/organization.
  
  
• Cost
  Many insurance plans do not cover the cost of LASIK eye surgery. However, there are alternative ways to finance LASIK procedures.
  
  
• Refractive Instability
  If you have required a change in your contact lens or eyeglasses prescription in the last year you may not be a good candidate for LASIK surgery. Talk with your eye doctor to learn about potential additional risk refractive instability presents.
  
  
• Additional Considerations
  There are a number of other circumstances that impact is LASIK surgery is a possible option for you. These circumstances include previous eye diseases, existing eye conditions, age and more. Talk with our laser eye doctors to learn more.
