Only a few: Most people can have laser vision correction to improve their eyesight. To find out if you are a candidate, see a surgeon who does these procedures. In many cases, this initial visit is done with no cost to you and only takes a few minutes.

Healthy Eyes: A complete evaluation is required to determine of you are a good candidate for lasik. The eyes need to be healthy, have a stable prescription within treatable parameters, and there must be no signs of corneal or ocular disorders which may interfere with healing or vision.
