AM I A CANDIDATE FOR LASIK SURGERY?
When considering LASIK eye surgery many people assume that they are not a candidate for the procedure. The only way to truly determine if you are a candidate for LASIK is to have an evaluation with your LASIK doctor. A complimentary consultation allows Manrique Custom Vision to determine if we will be able to reduce your dependency on glasses and contacts, or in most cases eliminate the need for your glasses and contacts!
LASIK can treat and/or improve the following conditions often treated with glasses or contacts:
ASTIGMATISM
Astigmatism is a common vision condition, in which you have an imperfection in the curvature of your eye that causes haloes and/or blurred vision.

FARSIGHTEDNESS
NEARSIGHTEDNESS
Nearsightedness (Myopia) is a common vision condition in which there is an abnormal curvature of your eye that causes objects farther away to be blurry.
PRESBYOPIA
Presbyopia is the gradual loss of your eyes' ability to focus actively on nearby objects. It is a natural part of aging that usually becomes noticeable in your early to mid-40s and continues to worsen until around age 65.
During your complimentary VIP consultation we learn everything we need to know about your eyes and your health, such as the severity of your prescription, how long you have had your condition and any other health factors that could impact whether you are a candidate for LASIK surgery.
