Know what makes you a poor candidate
- Career impact – does your job prohibit refractive surgery?
- Cost – can you really afford this procedure?
- Medical conditions – e.g., do you have an autoimmune disease or other major illness? Do you have a chronic illness that might slow or alter healing?
- Eye conditions – do you have or have you ever had any problems with your eyes other than needing glasses or contacts?
- Medications – do you take steroids or other drugs that might prevent healing?
- Stable refraction – has your prescription changed in the last year?
- High or Low refractive error – do you use glasses/contacts only some of the time? Do you need an unusually strong prescription?
- Pupil size – are your pupils extra large in dim conditions?
- Corneal thickness – do you have thin corneas?
- Tear production – do you have dry eyes?
