Everyone is different from their glasses prescription to their age and even their visual goals. That's why Envision Laser Centers offers a free LASIK consultation to see how the benefits and risks of LASIK apply to you, individually.

After the consultation, a complete eye exam must be performed to determine LASIK candidacy. In order to have a good outcome, you must be a good LASIK candidate both physically and mentally. The following list should only be used as a guideline for LASIK candidacy.

• Normal Ocular Health   --   Find out more: Eye Care
• Age 18 years or older
• Stable refractive error (no noticeable change in vision in
the last year)
• Patient must be correctable to 20/40 or better with
corrective lenses
• -0.75 to -12.00 diopters of myopia, +0.75 to 5.00 diopters
of hyperopia, and up to +/-5.00 diopters of astigmatism
• No gender restriction, with the exception of pregnancy
• Realistic expectations of final results (with a complete
understanding of the benefits and the risks of LASIK)
• Pupil size no larger than 9mm in dim lighting
• Pre-existing conditions that may complicate or preclude treatment
• Collagen vascular disease (e.g.. dry eye, kerataconus,
glaucoma, etc.)
• Systemic disorders (e.g.. rheumatoid arthritis, etc.)
• No Serious eye injuries
• Take prescription medications that may affect corneal healing or vision

People who are presbyopic (over the age of 40 and only need reading glasses), LASIK will only allow close range vision through monovision.
