Is LASIK Right for You?
What to Expect at Your Consultation
If you’ve ever dreamed of waking up with clear vision—without reaching for your glasses or contacts—LASIK might be the solution. But before you schedule surgery, a LASIK consultation is the first step in determining if you’re a good candidate. Here’s what you can expect during your visit with Dr. Vi Nguyen at iSeeU Optometry.
What Happens During a LASIK Consultation?
A LASIK consultation is a comprehensive eye evaluation that helps determine if laser vision correction is safe and effective for you. The process includes:
👁 Vision & Eye Health Exam – Dr. Vi Nguyen will assess your prescription, cornea thickness, and overall eye health to ensure your eyes are suitable for LASIK.
🦠 Screening for Eye Conditions – Conditions like dry eye, keratoconus, or thin corneas may affect your eligibility.
📏 Corneal Mapping & Measurements – Advanced imaging helps map the shape and structure of your cornea for precise surgical planning.
💬 Discussion of Your Lifestyle & Goals – Dr. Nguyen will discuss your daily activities, expectations, and whether LASIK aligns with your vision needs.
Who Is a Good Candidate for LASIK?
✅ You are at least 18 years old
✅ Your vision has been stable for at least a year
✅ You have healthy eyes(no severe dry eye, infections, or corneal diseases)
✅ Your prescription is within a treatable range
✅ You have realistic expectations about the results
What If You’re Not a Candidate?
If LASIK isn’t the best option for you, don’t worry! Dr. Vi Nguyen can discuss alternative vision correction procedures, such as PRK, EVO ICL, or Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), that may be better suited to your eyes.
