Interested in LASIK in Las Vegas & Henderson?
You’re in luck – most likely. The vast majority of patients examined (somewhere between 90% and 95%) are great candidates for LASIK Las Vegas. For the remaining 5% to 10%, patients generally have certain contraindications, including things like extremely steep or extremely flat corneas, chronic dry eye, inadequate corneal thickness, etc.
If you are over 18, have had no changes in your prescription for two years and have otherwise healthy eyes, you could be a good candidate for LASIK. Take our LASIK Self-Test to get a better idea of your candidacy. The only way to know for sure, however, is to schedule a free VIP exam at Wellish Vision Institute in Las Vegas, NV to perform the necessary tests to determine your candidacy.
