Abstract

Candidates for LASIK procedures should have a stable refraction for at least 12 months. The three main contraindications for LASIK include patients with keratoconus or autoimmune disease and active corneal or ocular disease. The proper laser room environment is critical for optimal laser performance. The temperature should be maintained between 18 degrees C and 24 degrees C, and the humidity should be kept below 50%.
