Modern laser technology has made eye surgery more convenient than ever, doing everything from correcting refractive errors and removing cataracts to treating glaucoma. Before you commit to laser eye surgery, get an eye exam from an optometrist to see whether it makes sense for your individual condition. Here at El Dorado Hills Vision Center Optometry, we can provide laser eye surgery consultations for patients in El Dorado Hills, CA, Cameron Park, CA, Placerville, CA, and Folsom, CA. 

 

Why You Need a Preoperative Eye Exam

LASIK surgery, a highly popular optional procedure for people with refractive errors, modifies the cornea to correct issues like nearsightedness and farsightedness, potentially allowing those people to stop using glasses or contacts on a regular basis.

However, not everyone makes an ideal candidate for refractive surgery techniques such as LASIK. If you're under 18 or have a constantly-changing vision prescription, for example, you're not currently a candidate for LASIK. Thin or weak corneas can also rule out LASIK as a reliable treatment. If you have a mild case of glaucoma or cataracts, medications may manage the problem successfully for quite some time, with surgery coming to the rescue as a later option. For these reasons, you should schedule a laser eye surgery consultation with an optometrist as the first step toward resolving your eye problem.
