eye laser surgery : Can everyone have laser eye surgery

Can everyone have laser eye surgery?

No. Eye laser surgery is only suitable for certain people. It is usually only performed on healthy adults.

People who have just mild eyesight problems are not generally considered good candidates. Similarly, those whose eyesight has changed significantly in the past 12 months may also be refused because their eyesight is still getting worse.

Diabetes, pregnancy and arthritis and other similar conditions can also rule people out.

How popular is eye laser surgery?

Eye laser surgery is getting more popular every year not least because prices are coming down and the treatment is more widely available.

It is estimated that more than one million Americans are now having their eyes lasered in the US each year.
