Is Laser Eye Surgery Right for You?
Laser eye surgery is a life-changing process. The goal of refractive surgery is the freedom from traditional methods of vision correction, such as glasses and contact lenses.
Undergoing laser eye surgery is a big decision, and it’s not right for everyone. To achieve optimal results, your prescription must be stable and your eyes healthy. However, there are a number of other factors that can affect your candidacy for laser eye surgery, and we can detect them when you visit us for an eye exam and consultation.

What Can Affect Your Candidacy for Laser Eye Surgery?
Laser eye surgery is an effective way to improve vision, but there are certain factors that can affect a person’s candidacy for the procedure. These can include:
- Age
- Overall health
- Health conditions (like diabetes)
- Existing eye problems
- Lifestyle choices (like smoking or drinking)
Additionally, a person’s occupation may be taken into account to determine if laser eye surgery is suitable.
The Consultation Process
At MEye Health, we want you to be fully confident in your eye care. As such, we provide the time and attention necessary to thoroughly examine your eyes to determine whether laser eye surgery is right for you.
The first step in the process is to gain an in-depth understanding of your vision goals, your lifestyle, and your health. We will thoroughly discuss your hopes and expectations for the procedure so that you fully understand both the risks and rewards associated.
Next, we will perform an extensive examination of your eyes. This exam will provide information on whether laser eye surgery is suitable for your eyes. It will also determine whether your prescription is stable.
If the first two steps of the process go well, we will refer you to the appropriate laser eye centre and prepare you for what to expect throughout the remainder of the process.
Once the surgery has been completed, MEye Health provides full follow-up care to monitor the progress of your eye health and vision to be sure that you are avoiding complications and healing properly.
