Not every myopic person qualifies for LASIK. This is because, till the age of 18, refractive errors (vision problems) tend to keep progressing. This is why you will only be considered as a candidate for LASIK if you are aged 18 or above. There is no upper limit as such. As long as you meet all other eligibility conditions and have not developed age-related vision problems such as <a href=\"http:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/myopia-vs-presbyopia-symptoms-causes-and-treatment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">presbyopia<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/what-is-an-eye-cataract-why-does-it-happen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cataract<\/a>, you can get LASIK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stable_Vision\"><\/span>Stable Vision<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your specs number must be stable for at least 6 months to 1 year before specs removal treatment. This condition ensures permanent vision correction. If your specs number is not stable and you undergo LASIK, your refractive error can progress. It may mean wearing specs again to see clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Overall_Healthy_Eyes\"><\/span>Overall Healthy Eyes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another requisite for specs removal treatment: you must not have any other eye conditions, such as keratoconus, uveitis, etc. This is because serious eye conditions can interfere with LASIK results or limit its effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Physical_Health\"><\/span>Physical Health<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides healthy eyes, a clean bill of physical health is also one of the requirements for LASIK. If you have uncontrolled chronic diseases such as HIV, diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease, you may not be an ideal candidate for LASIK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f7ecef\"><strong><em>*Note:<\/em><\/strong><em> It is important to disclose your medical history to your <a href=\"https:\/\/share.google\/L5z0nDeFszbYJ2Ird\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LASIK surgeon<\/a> and let them know about the conditions you have (if any).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Not_Pregnant_or_Nursing\"><\/span>Not Pregnant or Nursing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re pregnant or breastfeeding, you may not be eligible for LASIK. This is because vision tends to keep changing constantly during this time. Therefore, it is advised that you only consider getting LASIK after you have stopped nursing and your vision has stabilised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the degree of refractive errors that can be treated with LASIK<strong> <\/strong>depends on the specific type of surgery.
