Am I a good candidate for LASIK?

Before talking about price, the real question is whether LASIK is even a fit for your eyes. Answer 6 quick screening questions, the same ones surgeons ask at intake, for an initial read before you book. This is guidance only; a corneal topography scan (Pentacam) makes the final call.

Self-screening quiz, not a substitute for an exam

Am I a good candidate for LASIK?

Answer the 6 questions below, the same initial screening questions surgeons ask at intake. 0 of 6 answered.

1. What is your age range?

2. Has your prescription changed in the last 12 months?

3. Approximate corneal thickness, if you know it from a prior exam?

4. Do you have a history of severe dry eye or corneal disease (e.g. keratoconus)?

5. Are you currently pregnant or nursing?

6. Have you had any prior eye surgery?

Likely candidate

Likely candidate: book an exam

Your answers don't show any of the common LASIK red flags. The next step is a corneal topography scan (Pentacam) and precise refraction to confirm that and determine the right LASIK technique for you.

Needs an exam first

Needs a corneal exam first

One of your answers calls for a precise corneal exam (Pentacam/topography) before deciding on LASIK either way. This doesn't necessarily mean you're not a candidate, but it's a call the surgeon needs to make directly, not a self-quiz.

Alternative may suit you

Another option may suit you better

Corneal thickness is a key factor in the LASIK decision because the procedure removes corneal tissue. With a thinner cornea, the standard alternative is usually an Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL), it removes no corneal tissue at all. An exam confirms this for certain.

How is this different from the LASIK cost calculator?

The LASIK cost calculator is for people who already know they want the procedure and want a price estimate by technique. This quiz is one step earlier, for anyone still asking “is LASIK even right for me?” based on the core medical screening factors (age, refraction stability, corneal thickness, dry eye, pregnancy, prior surgery).

A note for anyone over 40: this quiz measures your candidacy for distance-vision correction. LASIK does not restore the eye's ability to focus up close, and difficulty reading after the mid-40s is a separate, natural change with its own path, read presbyopia and reading vision options.
