Who should consider AK?
If you have mild or moderate astigmatism, are in good health and have an open mind about this surgery then you will be considered for AK.
The surgeon will take a variety of factors into account, such as age, lifestyle, the condition of your eyes and reasons for surgery. He or she will also ask you about your medical history. This is important as he/she is not only checking on your general health but wants to know if you have or have suffered from any eye diseases, e.g. glaucoma.
