Although this is completely determined after a pre-operative evaluation, if all or most of the following statements are true for you, then you may be a good candidate for LASIK surgery.
- My dependence on eyeglasses and/or contacts feels like a handicap, or impairs my daily activities.
- I do not tolerate contact lenses well.
- I am active in sports, and I feel my performance would be enhanced without my corrective lenses.
- I sometimes worry that if a crisis arose when I was wearing my glasses or contact lenses I would not be able to help myself, or others.
- My career opportunities would be improved if I did not have to rely on eyeglasses or contact lenses for distance vision.
- I would be happy with the results if my vision improved significantly, even if I still had to wear corrective lenses for some purposes.
- I prefer the way that I look without glasses.
- I adapt well to change.
- If LASIK can reduce the hassles of contact lenses or glasses, and improve the quality of my life, it is worth the investment.
