Laser Vision

Along with the following general requirements, it is recommend that before you proceed with laser vision correction; you take advantage of Spectrum Vision Center's no-cost, pre-procedure consultation. This important consultation is mandatory prior to having your LASIK procedure at NVision Laser Center. NVision Laser Centers are the Eye Doctors' #1 Choice for LASIK for their patients.

In general, to be a candidate for laser vision correction you should:

• be at least 18 years of age or older
• have stable vision for a year prior to the procedure
• be free of certain diseases of the cornea and retina
• be in good general health

The primary objective of our consultation is to determine whether you are a good candidate for laser vision correction and which procedure is most appropriate for you. Equally as important tp you is whether laser vision correction is right for you, and to educate you with the benefits and risks associated with this type of surgery.

Learning everything you can about your options is the key to making an informed decision. Dr. Dortch and his associates will help you understand what results you can reasonably expect after the procedure, given your particular prescription and circumstances. After your scheduled there is no obligation to move forward with the procedure.

It is important for you to understand that even if it is determined that you are not a candidate today, it does not mean that you will not be a candidate in the future. The technology for vision correction is constantly being enhanced, enabling higher and more difficult prescriptions to be qualified. However, laser vision correction is not for everyone, and some patients (those with certain diseases of the eye involving the cornea and retina) will never be candidates. The best way for you to find out is by having a thorough examination with your eye doctor.
