What If I’m Not a LASIK Candidate?

Finding out you are not a LASIK candidate can feel disappointing, but it does not mean vision correction is off the table. LASIK is only one option, and some patients may be better suited for another procedure based on their corneal thickness, prescription, dry eye symptoms, age, or overall eye health.

The good news is that modern vision correction offers several alternatives. PRK may be an option for some patients who are not ideal LASIK candidates, while EVO ICL can be a strong choice for patients with higher prescriptions or thinner corneas. For patients over 40 or those experiencing age-related vision changes, refractive lens exchange or premium lens options may provide a better long-term solution.

That is why a personalized evaluation is so important. Dr. Kerry Solomon can carefully review your eyes, explain your options, and help determine which procedure may be the safest and most effective fit for your vision goals. If you have been told LASIK is not right for you, schedule an evaluation to explore your options.
