A member asked:
Who is not a candidate for laser eye surgery ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many reasons: Many physical and character attributes can make people less than ideal candidates for laser vision correction. Commonly corneal thickness and shape are issues. However, many different types of vision correction surgery exist. If you consult with a refractive specialist, they will be able to tell you the risks and benefits of each procedure as they pertain to you and your goals.
