There are many people today with bad eyes – they may be suffering from nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, and need to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses to maintain their vision. These eye defects are caused by refractive errors in the eyes.

The good thing is that it’s easy to correct these errors. One way is to undergo LASIK eye surgery, where some of your cornea will be taken off so that the surgeon can reshape your eyes, adjusting the error and helping your eye focus better.

If you know what to expect from LASIK, then check if you’re qualified to be a candidate for surgery. You should be at least eighteen years old, and your refraction should have been the same for the past year. Also, you should not have experienced any infections or injuries to your eye during that time.

Don’t worry, because your doctor can tell if you can take the surgery or not. You’ll undergo an eye exam and your doctor will ask you about your medical history.
