LASIK and Eye Surgery Blog - Clearview Eye and Laser Medical Center

The doctors and staff at Clearview Eye and Laser Medical Center in San Diego are proud to offer our patients the most advanced vision correction surgery available today. Unfortunately, however, not everyone is a good candidate for this type of surgery, especially LASIK.

You are probably not a good candidate for refractive surgery if:

You don’t like to take risks
Your job prohibits certain refractive procedures (ask your employer)
Money is a problem (insurance doesn’t cover LASIK typically)
You needed a change in your contact lens or glasses prescription in the last year
You have a disease such as diabetes or an autoimmune disease such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis
You actively participate in contact sports
You’re under the age of 18

We will discuss with you whether or not you’re a good candidate at the time of your consultation. Please contact our office today to schedule your initial appointment.
