Have you grown tired of depending on eyeglasses or contacts for clear vision? LASIK eye surgery may be an option for you to consider. Our optometrists in Champaign, IL, at Champaign Eye Professionals offer co-management for this procedure. We can help you determine if LASIK is the best choice for you, considering various factors.

Severity of Refractive Errors

How nearsighted or farsighted are you? Or how bad is your astigmatism? LASIK can help if you have moderate or mild refractive errors. It’s not designed for those with more severe astigmatism, nearsightedness, or farsightedness.

Eye Conditions

Do you have any eye diseases or problems? Some of these, such as retinal diseases or keratoconus, may make LASIK unsuitable for you. If this is the case, we’ll discuss other options for correcting your vision.

Age

Are you at least 18? LASIK is meant for those whose eyes and vision are fully developed. For those who are younger, our eye doctors will need to discuss other vision correction options, such as a different type of lens for glasses or contacts.

Medical Conditions

Do you have any underlying health issues that may affect your ability to heal or put you at greater risk of complications, such as diabetes? You’ll need to manage these conditions to be considered a good candidate for LASIK.

Cost

Note that LASIK isn’t usually covered under vision insurance so we’ll need to make sure it’s an affordable option for you.
