Your LASIK evaluation in New Braunfels will continue with questions about your eye and general medical health. You cannot be a candidate if you have certain corneal diseases or certain vascular diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Pregnant or nursing women cannot be candidates as well. Your eyeglass or contact lens prescription has to be stable and not have a recent history of changing. It is also generally recommended that good candidates be over 18 and have no ocular or medical conditions that would affect healing. Good candidates should have stable eyeglass prescriptions for 1-2 years; do not like glasses or contact lenses; and are involved in sports or jobs where contact lenses or eyeglasses can be problems. Dr. Patel will also take into account: the general health of you and your eyes; the shape of your cornea; your corneal thickness; and your pupil diameter in the dark. If you need a referral to a LASIK surgeon, Dr. Patel will be able to provide you with that as well.
