Many criteria: There are many criteria that establish candidacy for any refractive surgery. The prescription, the corneal thickness and curvature and the overall health of the eye are some of these. A consultation with an experienced surgeon is the best way to determine whether you are a candidate for vision correction surgery and which procedure is best for you.
