Candidacy Inquiry

Not everyone is a candidate for vision correction. Each individual has very unique eyes. No two corneas are the same... just like with a fingerprint.  This is why a pre-operative exam is absolutely necessary.  Before vision correction is performed, we will perform a comprehensive refractive evaluation to determine the stability of your vision, general health, review realistic expectations and possible outcomes, and answer all your questions.  

To get started on determining your candidacy, please answer and submit the few questions below.  A laser consultant will call or email you soon.

Candidates must be 18 years of age or older for nearsightedness and/or astigmatism, and 21 years of age or older for farsightedness. 

· Prescriptions must be within treatment range. 
   (Because we also perform the more complex procedures beyond
    laser vision correction, our prescription range is very broad.)

· Patient must have realistic expectations of the final outcome.  

· A comprehensive refractive evaluation must be performed to
   confirm ocular and general health for meeting full candidacy criterion.

  1. What is your age?

  2. When are you dependent on glasses or contact lenses?

  3. Have you ever been told you are not a vision correction candidate?

  4. Have you ever been diagnosed with an eye disease?

  5. Have you ever had an eye injury?

  6. Do you have a vision plan that includes a discount for vision correction?

  7. Females only: Are you currently pregnant or nursing?
