Many people who have diabetes wonder if they can have LASIK vision correction to
correct nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism. There is no singular
answer to this question; it depends on many different factors surrounding the
patient’s eye health and overall health. Any reputable ophthalmologist will
demand to know your medical history and current medical condition and will
perform an extensive screening process before recommending LASIK.
LASIK should not be performed on diabetic patients who have:
- Diabetic Retinopathy, a disease that causes damage to the blood vessels in the retina (back of the eye)
- Uncontrolled blood sugar levels
- Unstable vision prescription
If you are a diabetic, the first step in finding out if it
is safe for you to have LASIK is by scheduling a free LASIK Consultation at Lake Dillon Eye Care. Board certified
ophthalmologist Dr. Chang will go to great lengths to ensure that your diabetes is controlled enough to
support LASIK and allow for proper healing. It is possible for people with
well-controlled diabetes to have successful LASIK procedures.
