WHO IS SUITABLE FOR LASER EYE SURGERY?<\/h2>\n\n

There are many criteria. The most important ones are listed below: <\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • There are many criteria. The most important ones are listed below:<\/li>\n\n
  • The patient should be at least 20 years old. In people over 65, the success rate may be somewhat lower due to age-related farsightedness. <\/li>\n\n
  • There should be no eye diseases (e.g., cataracts, glaucoma, keratoconus).<\/li>\n\n
  • Conditions such as rheumatism, diabetes, and others may contraindicate surgery. It is essential that you inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions. <\/li>\n\n
  • Medications that could affect the healing of the cornea must not be taken.<\/li>\n\n
  • Treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be avoided.<\/li>\n\n
  • For allergy sufferers, the operation should be scheduled during the allergy-free period.<\/li>\n\n
  • Your corneal thickness should be sufficient (this will be measured during the preliminary examination).<\/li>\n\n
  • The patient’s psychological state must be unproblematic.<\/li>\n\n
  • You should absolutely understand what this procedure on the eye entails. No questions should remain unanswered for you. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Whether you are a suitable candidate for surgical treatment can only be definitively determined after a preliminary examination and diagnosis have been completed.<\/p>\n\n

    Wearing glasses and contact lenses is not always free of problems.<\/p>\n\n

    Many people who wear glasses feel that their vision or mobility is impaired in daily life, leisure activities, and sports. Cosmetic or psychological factors can also negatively impact their well-being. Glasses can also be a hindrance in certain professions (e.g., actors, chefs, police officers). Unilateral vision problems and strong lenses can be further contributing factors. <\/p>\n\n

    Even contact lenses do not always offer a permanent solution, as unpleasant irritations or allergies to cleaning agents can occur as intolerances.<\/p>\n\n

    For patients with these problems, refractive surgery can be an alternative.<\/p>\n\n

    However, those who are completely satisfied with glasses or contact lenses and get along very well with them usually have no reason to have their eyes operated on.<\/p>\n\n
