LASIK surgery offers incredible benefits, but it's not suitable for everyone. In Chicago, individuals under the age of 18, those with unstable vision prescriptions, or individuals with certain medical conditions such as severe dry eyes, keratoconus, or autoimmune disorders may not be eligible. Pregnant or nursing mothers are also advised to wait. A comprehensive consultation at Kraff Eye Institute can determine if LASIK is the right choice for you, based on your unique ocular health.
Chicago's weather, characterized by its windy conditions and harsh winters, can pose challenges for anyone, especially after eye surgery. Post-LASIK, it’s crucial to shield your eyes from the wind and cold, which can exacerbate dryness. (1) We recommend wearing protective eyewear and using lubricating eye drops during recovery. Our team provides personalized care instructions to help you navigate the city’s climate while ensuring a smooth recovery.
The cost of LASIK in Chicago can vary depending on several factors, including the technology used and the specifics of each patient's needs. At Kraff Eye Institute, we strive to provide transparent pricing tailored to the services you require.
