What can cause a person to be lasik resistant.?

Resistant?: When you say lasik resistant, i assume you mean not a candidate? If that is the case, thin corneas, high prescriptions, corneal irregularities/scarring and other ocular health problems can be reasons why one cannot get lasik.

No such thing: There is no such thing as "lasik resistance." patients can be poor candidates for lasik and other can require touchups for residual prescription after their lasik surgery but resistance does not exist.

LASIK: There is no such thing as lasik resistance. Some patients are not good candidates for the procedure. An examination by an eye doctor can be performed to determine whether someone is a candidate.
