Thinking About LASIK Surgery? Here's What You Need To Know
If you're thinking about LASIK surgery, it's likely that you have questions about whether you're a qualified candidate. At Maple Ridge Eye Care, we're here to help you learn more about the LASIK procedure, provide pre- and post-surgical care, and refer you to one of our trusted surgical partners in the Greater Vancouver area.
LASIK Qualifications
While LASIK procedures are routine, there are qualifications that candidates must meet in order to ensure that the procedure will be safe and effective. Successful candidates for LASIK surgery are at least 18 years of age. This is important because the eyes need to be fully mature in order for LASIK to be performed successfully. It's also essential that your eyes are healthy, and that you haven't had any major eye problems in the past year. Your eyeglass prescription needs to fit within a certain range since LASIK procedures are not effective for all prescriptions. It's also necessary that your prescription has remained steady over the past year.
LASIK Co-Management
While we do not provide the actual LASIK procedure in our office, we do work with trusted surgeons in the area. We'll work with you to figure out whether LASIK surgery is a good choice for you. If you decide that you'd like to move forward with the procedure, we'll refer you to a surgeon in our area. We'll provide your pre- and post-surgical care in the comfort of our office, working closely with your surgeon to ensure that you're getting the care that you need.
