This informative article is designed to assist potential patients in understanding the key factors that determine their eligibility for LASIK surgery. With a commitment to personalized care and leading-edge technology, Tersigni Vision aims to educate the public and provide clarity on what makes a good candidate for LASIK.

LASIK surgery, known for significantly improving visual perception and overall quality of life, remains one of the most sought-after refractive surgeries in ophthalmology. However, determining if one is a suitable candidate involves several important considerations. The guide emphasizes that age is a crucial factor, with candidates needing to be at least 18 years old, as vision typically stabilizes by this age. The effectiveness of LASIK does not diminish with age, making it a viable option for many adults, even those in their 40s and beyond.

Healthy eyes are paramount for LASIK candidacy. Conditions such as eye infections, severe dry eyes, or conjunctivitis must be resolved before undergoing the procedure. At Tersigni Vision, a full medical eye history is taken to ensure that each patient's eyes are healthy and ready for LASIK.

The stability of one’s vision prescription is another vital factor. Candidates should have had a stable prescription for at least a year prior to the surgery, as fluctuating vision post-surgery could necessitate further enhancements. This is why Tersigni Vision places a strong emphasis on ensuring prescription stability to achieve the best long-term results.

Corneal thickness is also critical in determining eligibility. The LASIK procedure reshapes the cornea to correct vision, but if the cornea is too thin, achieving the desired results may not be possible. Fortunately, advancements in LASIK technology now allow for the treatment of patients with thinner corneas than were previously considered suitable. Tersigni Vision utilizes these advancements to expand treatment possibilities for patients.

For those with dry eye syndrome, managing this condition is essential before considering LASIK. Tersigni Vision conducts thorough assessments to detect signs of dry eye and recommends treatments to stabilize eye health. The article highlights that there are modern vision correction procedures more suitable for those with dry eye concerns, ensuring that all patients receive the most appropriate care.

The guide also addresses the limitations of eye prescriptions for LASIK. Tersigni Vision uses FDA-approved excimer lasers that can correct up to +6.00 diopters of farsightedness, -12 diopters of nearsightedness, and 6.00 diopters of astigmatism. Each patient’s candidacy is determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account their specific eye health and surgical requirements. The availability of multiple LASIK alternatives, such as SMILE and EVO ICL, ensures that patients with high prescriptions have viable options.

Pregnancy and nursing are periods when hormonal changes can temporarily alter vision and prescription stability. Tersigni Vision advises waiting until after these stages before undergoing a LASIK evaluation. This ensures that the corrections made during the procedure are accurate and effective.

General health is another crucial aspect of LASIK candidacy. Conditions that might hinder the body’s ability to heal, such as autoimmune diseases, diabetes, or chronic pain conditions, are thoroughly evaluated during the consultation. Ensuring the best possible outcomes for each patient requires a comprehensive understanding of their overall health.

Tersigni Vision’s guide underscores the importance of thorough research and preparation before undergoing LASIK. Educating oneself about the procedure, consulting with eye doctors, and being proactive about understanding the benefits and risks are essential steps in making an informed decision. This educational approach is a core belief at Tersigni Vision, reflecting their dedication to patient care and transparency.

Dr. Tersigni, a leading LASIK specialist, emphasizes the importance of a personalized approach to vision correction. “At Tersigni Vision, we prioritize a thorough assessment for each patient. Understanding the unique aspects of their eye health and vision needs allows us to provide the best recommendations and achieve optimal outcomes,” said Dr. Tersigni.

For those considering LASIK, Tersigni Vision offers the Advanced Ocular Analysis, a comprehensive assessment standard that evaluates LASIK readiness in detail. This analysis, combined with Dr. Tersigni’s expertise, ensures that patients receive the most accurate and effective treatment plans.

If a patient is not deemed a good candidate for LASIK, Tersigni Vision offers a wide range of alternative procedures. Modern options such as SMILE, PRK, EVO ICL, and Refractive Lens Exchange/Custom Lens Replacements provide safe and effective solutions for those who may not qualify for LASIK. This broad spectrum of procedures positions Tersigni Vision as the leading provider of vision correction options in Portland.

Tersigni Vision’s commitment to patient education and personalized care is evident in their comprehensive guide. By offering detailed information on LASIK candidacy, the practice aims to empower potential patients to make informed decisions about their vision health.
