A member asked:
If i have hypothyroidism or hashimotos can i still get lasik? i don't know which kind of thyroid problem i have but it's one of them.

If stable: If stable, you should be fine. Exopthalmous can occur with some thyroid disorders (overactive), but should not preclude you from getting Lasik. Check with your Ophthalmologist who would be highly educated in this arena and would be able to answer all the risks and benefits of the surgery. Good luck.
