We should understand who should do laser eye surgery as many people do not meet the medical criteria required for laser eye surgery. Laser eye surgery benefits certain people more than others; it is dependent on individual conditions. Remember, laser eye surgery is not magic; it is a procedure. It is apt for people who have a problem involving cornea or the lens of the eye. If you are blind, laser eye surgery is of no use. Neither is it of any use if you have a vision problem that has to do with the brain.

Laser eye surgery is for those who have problems of the eye, such as Myopia (nearsightedness), Hyperopia (farsightedness), or Astigmatism. Laser eye surgery will not help people with age-related vision problems, such as presbyopia. Presbyopia has nothing to do with the cornea and occurs when the lens becomes less flexible.

Let us assume you suffer from Myopia. This means you can see things that are close up, but cannot see distant objects clearly. If your myopia has reached an extreme stage, then laser eye surgery may not be beneficial. In case of extreme astigmatism too, it does not work. Similarly, if you have a large pupil, it is of no use as the laser will not be able to reach where it needs to. Laser eye surgery is beneficial to you if you have a normal bad vision.

You can go for laser eye surgery if your eyeball has stopped growing. This is why younger people cannot go for laser eye surgery. The laser eye surgery cannot take care of the future growth of the eyeball. Every person’s eye condition is unique; therefore indications and contra-indications can be ascertained only by pre-operative tests. If your eyes check out OK for laser surgery, there are other things to see before the surgery are:

* You should be in good health.

* Your eyes should be in good health - no pus or random blood leakage.

* You should not have diabetes or other disorders that retard healing.

* You should not have undergone a previous major eye surgery. This could cause unpredictable healing.
