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.
