    Other Factors

    Before jumping headfirst to a LASIK procedure, your doctor should examine you for the following conditions. Note that these are indicators of risk:

    Thin Corneas – Probably you all know that the cornea is the thin clear covering of the eye that is over the iris, which is the colored part of the eye. Well, the bulk of the refractive surgeries alteration the focusing power of the eyes by technique of reshaping the cornea. An example of this could be the elimination of tissue. So, performing a LASIK procedure, which is refractive, on a cornea that is too thin may result blinding complications. If you have thin corneas, then LASIK is not for you.

    Dry Eyes – The Dry Eye Syndrome is actually one of the the bulk common complications after LASIK. Well, it's not exclusive to people who have had refractive surgery, but it has developed into the the bulk common complication after laser vision correction.

    Large Pupils – When taking an eye examination, be certainly that the assessment is done in a dark room. A reason for this could be the fact that younger patients, as well as those who are on certain medications may be susceptible to having large pupils under dim lighting conditions. According to some experts, this can trigger symptoms like halos, glare, ghost images (double vision), and starbursts to eventuate after surgery. Most patients consider these symptoms debilitating. Perhaps one particular example of this is a patient who cannot take anymore to drive a car at night or in certain weather conditions, like fog.

    Previous Refractive Surgery – Most surgeons do not advocate additional refractive surgery once you have undergone a particular procedure. Accordingly, the decision to have additional refractive regimen must be made in consultation with your doctor after careful consideration of your situation.

    Blepharitis – One of the reasons that trigger to increase soreness or infection of the cornea after the LASIK is blepharitis, which is an soreness of the eyelids with crusting of eyelashes. So, if you have this condition, better not consider refractive surgery.
