Faisal asked:
I am short sighted, wearing glasses for almost 15 years. Just wanted to know whether I am a suitable candidate for laser eye surgery or not. Thanks
Faisal,
Being short sighted and wearing glasses for many years is typical. You will need a full consultation to determine if you are suitable for laser eye surgery. Some of the main factors will be the scans of your corneas, prescription, corneal thickness, and eye examination.
