Am I A Candidate For LASIK?

Wondering if LASIK is right for you? Take our short questionnaire as a first step in your discovery
process.

No two eyes are the same. The thickness of your cornea, the health of your eyes, the amount of refractive error and the effects of aging all play a part in determining whether your eyes are well suited for LASIK. The only way to know for sure if LASIK is right for your eyes is through a comprehensive LASIK examination. Great Plains Eye Specialistsprovides a free 2-hour LASIK Consultation that includes scans of your eye to map your exact vision characteristics.

We won’t perform LASIK on applicants who do not have the right vision characteristics to support a successful LASIK outcome.

The initial appointment includes:

  • A brief medical history of your eyes and eye health.
  • Corneal topography exam which maps the contour and shape of your cornea to determine your cornea’s condition.
  • Pupillometry exam to allow us to measure pupil size in dim and bright light. Accurate measurements of your pupil along with a custom surgery plan will significantly reduce the chance of halos and glare associated with night driving.
  • Wavefront diagnostics to create a detailed 3D diagram of your entire optical system
