We're sorry you are dealing with diabetes. Patients with diabetes need to wait until they have a stable hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and no medication changes for at least 90 days before they can be a candidate for LASIK/vision correction surgery. If you do not meet these criteria, email [email protected] and we will be happy to move your appointment to a later date.
If you are pregnant, please email [email protected] and we will reschedule your Brinton Vision Ocular Analysis for the third month after your child's due date. Women planning to have LASIK/vision correction surgery should not attempt to become pregnant until they have finished their postoperative medicated eye drops, usually one week after vision correction surgery. For nursing mothers, the National Institutes of Health’s LactMed page says the medicated eye drops we prescribe (ofloxacin and PredForte) are low risk. To be conservative, however, we ask you to get a clearance note from your child's pediatrician or "pump and dump" for a week as most procedures require one week of medicated eye drops.
We're sorry you are dealing with Marfan or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Patients diagnosed with Marfan or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome are not candidates for LASIK or surgical vision correction. We are happy to see you for health-of-eye exams and prescribe glasses (not contacts), however we will not recommend surgical eye correction. If you would like a refund of your exam fee, email [email protected].
We're sorry you are dealing with an autoimmune or similar disease. Patients with these conditions need to wait until their condition is stable and have no medication changes for 90 days before they can be a candidate for LASIK/vision correction surgery. If you do not meet these criteria, email [email protected] and we will be happy to move your appointment to a later date.
Patients currently taking Accutane (for acne) will need to wait 90 days after stopping the medication before they can be a candidate for LASIK/vision correction surgery. If you are currently taking Accutane, email [email protected] and we will be happy to move your appointment to a later date.
