Am I a LASIK Candidate?
Can I have LASIK if I had a previous corneal transplant or radial keratotomy?
I have hyperopia. Can I benefit from LASIK?
If I have astigmatism, am I still a good LASIK candidate?

Can I have LASIK eye surgery
if I had a previous corneal transplant or radial keratotomy?

With a skilled surgeon, as our surgeons at EyeSTAR, the answer is yes. Most reports of LASIK after the corneal transplantation have been excellent. With previous RK, LASIK treatment can give good results. However the procedure may be complicated if the flap separates at the previous radial incisions.

I have hyperopia. Can I benefit from LASIK treatment?
Yes. Hyperopia up to 6 diopters can be corrected with LASIK treatment. If your prescription is higher than that you may have phakic intraocular lens implantation or clear lens extraction.

If I have astigmatism, am I still a good LASIK candidate?
Yes, we are able to correct the astigmatism through reshaping of the cornea with the laser.
