lazik
Can anyone have a Lasik surgery? Most but not everyone and certain complications are unavoidable in a percentage of patients, and there are no long term data available for current procedures. Also, some jobs prohibit certain refractive procedures so be sure to check with your employer/professional society/military service before undergoing any procedure.
Most medical insurance will not pay for refractive surgery and the cost is still significant. If you have what is called refractive instability, like young people, you can not have this kind of surgery. If you are pregnant or have certain diseases like diabetes or are taking medications you should not have Lasik surgery. In these cases you should discuss the possible additional risks with your doctor.
