Factors That May Keep You From Getting Laser Eye Surgery
Laser eye surgery has increased in popularity as the technology
has improved. Many people long for the day they do not have to
rely on eyeglasses or contacts to see clearly. While laser eye
surgery has come a long way since first being introduced to the
market, it still has some issues. There are still people who
should not get the surgery and roadblocks that stand in the way.
Laser eye surgery requires the use of a laser to correct the
shape of the cornea. The cornea is the clear lens in the eye.
Most medical insurance companies still do not provide coverage
for this type of surgery. In addition there are some patients
that can not receive the surgery. People whose vision changes
often are not good candidate, this group includes pregnant women
and people under the age of 20.
Other people who suffer hormonal changes often like
breastfeeding mothers or diabetics also are not recommended to
get the surgery. Medication can also effect the eyes and so if
you are taking medication this should be discuss with your eye
doctor also. Anyone who has problems with wounds healing or
people who suffer from any disease of the eye should also
discuss if laser eye surgery is for them with their doctor. The
best way to find out if you are a good candidate is to talk with
your eye doctor.
In general, if you are seeking laser eye surgery you need
healthy eyes without any changes in vision for one year.
According to legal regulations you must also be over 18 years of
age.
