My glasses are thick, am I a candidate for LASER vision correction?

There are a LOT of factors that need to be evaluated to determine if a patient is a candidate. Some guidelines are:

• +6.00 to -14.00 diopters

• up to 4 diopters of astigmatism

• 21 years of age (per Dr. M, the FDA says 18 for nearsightedness)

• A stable prescription

For CustomVue the range is smaller:

• -9.00 diopters of nearsighted

• -3.00 diopters of astigmatism

More personal criteria are also measured to make the final determination if you a are a candidate.
