Photorefractive Keratectomy Eligibility

As one of the less popular eye surgery today (with all of the emphasis on Lasik), there are often numerous questions as to who is eligible for this procedure. As such, we will describe the ideal characteristics of someone who is eligible for this procedure. First, the candidate should be at least twenty years old and have a history or normal eye health. Second, while there is no gender restriction, if you are pregnant, you should not have this surgery. Third, the candidate should have realistic expectations of what PRK will provide for them. If the candidate has unrealistic expectations, it is very likely they will be unhappy with the results.
