Just to add a little more info, your eye doctor can't make a determination as to the viability of the procedure. While there are certain red flags that they can detect to rule you out, if none of those red flags are present, they will refer you to a doctor that actually performs the surgery. They are the ones with the expertise and equipment to do a full analysis to determine whether or not you are a candidate. Also note that if you are a candidate, you may achieve 20/20, or very near to, or significant improvement, or mild improvement. Everyone is different. A former co-worker had it done, and while he still required corrective lenses, he was able to get rid of the 3" thick, 20 lbs of glass lenses (OK, I exagerate a little for effect) in favor of very thin, lightweight glasses. For him, that was enough.

Yeah, they do the whole regular eye doctor check up, then check you out with a few different machines that map out your eye and then the surgeon determines if your eyes are up to the task. They won't do it on my cousin because there is not enough thickness to make a flap.

Did they coat your eyes with Fluorite to reduce CA and improve image quality?

One day they will just forget about fixing and go straight to replacement.
