Certain restrictions and criteria for performing the LASIK procedure may prevent you from qualifying for the LASIK procedure but these restrictions are based on extensive medical findings and are in place to protect you from any serious complications or side effects from the LASIK procedure. If you have been rejected for the LASIK procedure, it may be difficult to find a qualified opthamologist to conduct the LASIK procedure if they are fully aware of the risk involved in your individual case. Attempting to hide aspects of your medical history or seeking the LASIK surgery from a less reputable opthamologist can be very risky and affect your long term vision.

LASIK eye surgery is intended for correcting myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism (blurred image caused by an imperfection in the curvature of the cornea).During the procedure, an ophthalmologist (eye doctor/specialist) uses a laser to reshape the cornea making vision permanently clear. While this may seem like a simple procedure and the ultimate solution for any bespectacled person, LASIK should only be considered once you are totally aware of all aspects relating to this eye procedure.
