LASIK Candidacy
Determining LASIK candidacy

Not everyone is a candidate for the LASIK procedure or laser vision correction. Everyone has extremely unique eyes. No two corneas are the same just like with a fingerprint or snowflake. This is why a pre-operative exam is absolutely necessary. Before LASIK is performed you will be required to undergo a series of diagnostic tests to determine the stability of your vision.

After a thorough evaluation of your cornea, the doctors will be able to determine if you are a candidate. This thorough diagnostic evaluation is the first step in creating a positive outcome for your best possible visual outcome or personal best vision. If you are seeking LASIK in Philadelphia, PA. or the southern New Jersey region please feel free to fill out our self-evaluation test listed below to get a better idea if LASIK or another type of laser vision correction would be a good option for you. We will have a qualified LASIK coordinator contact you as soon as we review your results.
