How long should your vision be stable before Lasik?

Question

How long should your vision be at a stable point and not change anymore before you get Lasik surgery?

Answer 1

i had lasik and it didnt make my eyes good enough.  they said my vision has the be the same for 2 eye exams before I can have the second surgery to do it again.  i had an eye exam last month and have one this month.  but they also said they have to wait 3 to 6 months after the first surgery.  this next eye exam will be 3 months and If my vision hasn't changed, I'll have the surgery that same day...  hope this helped...

btw, i went to lasik plus, and don't recommend them to anyone  ;)

Answer 2

Most places require that your Rx be stable for at least one year; sometimes longer.  If you wear soft contacts, you'll need to be out of them for a week or two before having a LASIK work-up; you'll need to be out of gas permeable contacts for several weeks or months since those types of lenses can distort your corneas.  You also need to be tested to make sure that you meet certain other criteria such as tear production, corneal thickness, and pupil size, amoung other things.

Answer 3

One year is the protocol.  Of course, other factors affect your candidacy as well.
