Colorado LASIK Candidacy

In order to qualify for LASIK you must meet certain requirements. It is important that you are over the age of 18, and that your eyesight has been stable for at least two years.  It is also important that you do not have any eye diseases, or issues that would prevent you from recovering fully.
