ALL-LASIK may be your solution to these problems and at Augljos Laser Center we assess thoroughly your eyes to make sure you are a good candidate for surgery.\u00a0 This includes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Having a stable refraction over at least one year<\/li>\n
  2. Ruling out eye diseases, such as keratoconus, glaucoma or cataracts<\/li>\n
  3. Having acceptable curvature of cornea, i.e. not too steep or too flat<\/li>\n
  4. Not having too thin corneas<\/li>\n
  5. Not being pregnant or breast-feeding for 4 months after childbirth<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40″][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
