To find out whether you’re a suitable candidate you can use the Am I Suitable questionnaire and our staff will respond with some specific treatment options. Although each case is assessed individually, generally speaking you will meet the criteria for laser eye surgery if you can say yes to the following:

• You are over 18 years old (if required for your career) – otherwise 21 and above
• You are Short-sighted, Far-sighted or have Astigmatism
• Your vision has remained the same over the past 12 months (less than 0.50D change in the last year)
• You have a good eye health and no autoimmune diseases
• You are not pregnant or nursing

Lastly, you’ll also need to have an extensive 2-3 hour period of investigation followed by a consultation with a surgeon to see whether your eyes are suitable for surgery. To save time, this may be divided into preliminary screening tests and if suitable you will see the surgeon for a lengthier visit at a later date.

Safety is paramount
At Centre for Sight, we are very selective about those who are eligible. Safety is our number one priority, and we make our decisions based on scientific evidence, delaying (and first treating where appropriate) or declining those who might be at increased risk.
