Am I A Candidate?

We want to give you all the information you need to decide whether Laser Vision Correction surgery is right for you. Kaiser Permanente refractive surgeons and optometrists conduct complimentart education seminars. These seminars give you the opportunity to ask general and individual questions about the Laser Vision Correction surgery. After a thorough eye examination, Dr. Ariyasu or Dr. Yo will be able to inform you whether you are a good candidate for laser treatment and whether PRK or LASIK is more suitable for you. Success rate ultimately depends on individual's pre-existing conditions. However, you must be:

over 18 years of age
have healthy eyes (no cataract, glaucoma, macular degeneration)
not pregnant or nursing
not taking Acutane or Cordarone which causes dry eyes
understands the risks and benefits of the laser treatment
