Could someone get laser eye surgery as a type 1 diabetic?

Yes: If you do not have significant eye involvement from your diabetes and your cornea is otherwise healthy, most lasik surgeons would consider you a candidate for the procedure. Get a consult from an experienced lasik surgeon to find out for sure
