While LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) has revolutionized vision correction, it's crucial to recognize specific precautions to ensure safety and effectiveness. Before undergoing the procedure, it's essential to discuss your medical history with your doctor, particularly if you have a history of the following conditions:

1. Herpes Simplex or Herpes Zoster (Shingles) Involving the Eye Area: A history of herpes simplex or shingles affecting the eye area requires careful consideration. Discussing this with your doctor ensures a thorough evaluation of potential risks.

2. Glaucoma, Glaucoma Suspect, or Ocular Hypertension: Patients with glaucoma, those considered glaucoma suspects, or those with ocular hypertension need specialized attention. Evaluating the impact of LASIK on these conditions is crucial for informed decision-making.

3. Eye Diseases such as Uveitis/Iritis: Inflammations of the eye, such as uveitis or iritis, necessitate careful assessment before LASIK. Understanding the potential implications on existing eye diseases is vital for a comprehensive approach.

4. Eye Injuries or Previous Eye Surgeries: A history of eye injuries or prior eye surgeries requires careful consideration. Discussing these aspects with your doctor ensures an accurate evaluation of potential risks and benefits.

5. Keratoconus: Patients with keratoconus, a condition where the cornea gradually thins and bulges, need special attention. LASIK may not be suitable for individuals with this condition.

By openly discussing your medical history, you and your doctor can collaboratively determine the most suitable course of action for your vision correction needs.
