Your eye care professional evaluates you to determine if you are a candidate. You must have healthy eyes and be at least 18 years old for nearsightedness and 21 years old for astigmatism and farsightedness. Your vision must be stable for at least one year before the laser procedure. You are not a candidate if you have degenerative or auto immune diseases, if you are pregnant or nursing, or if you have a condition that makes healing difficult. A thorough evaluation is done which includes a complete eye exam along with other special tests to determine if your eyes are healthy and suitable for the procedure. A computerized map called corneal topography is made of your eye. This map assures the doctor that your cornea is the correct curvature for the procedure.
