Your LASIK Journey: From Consultation to Clear Vision
Thinking about LASIK or Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), but not sure if it’s right for you? You’re not alone. Many people are curious about vision correction but aren’t sure when to take the first step.
At LENS & LASIK by Jackman Eye Institute, we know that informed patients make confident decisions. That’s why we offer free consultations to help you understand your options, assess your eye health, and decide what’s right for you.
To help you prepare, here are five questions to ask yourself before booking a consultation:
1. Am I a good candidate for LASIK or RLE?
LASIK and RLE are incredibly effective, but not everyone is a candidate. In general, LASIK is best for adults over 18 with a stable prescription and healthy corneas. RLE is often a better option for patients over 40 who are dealing with age-related vision changes or early cataracts.
During your free consultation, our expert team performs a comprehensive exam to determine which procedure is best for you and your unique needs.
2. Have my eyes been stable for at least a year?
One of the key requirements for LASIK is a stable prescription. If your vision has changed significantly in the past year, we may recommend waiting.

3. What are my lifestyle and vision goals?
LAre you an avid hiker, a swimmer, or someone who travels often for work? Do you find glasses annoying, or struggle with contact lenses? Your lifestyle can play a big role in whether LASIK or RLE is a good fit.
During your free consultation, you can chat with your patient educator about your long-term vision goals. That way, we can help you choose the procedure that works best for you.
4. Do I understand the risks and benefits?
While LASIK and RLE are both safe and effective, all procedures carry some level of risk. Dry eyes, glare, or temporary discomfort are common short-term side effects that usually improve over time.
Our team will walk you through everything you need to know, answer all your questions, and make sure you feel confident in your choice.
5. Have I considered financing my procedure?
Vision correction is an investment in yourself. At LENS & LASIK, we offer flexible financing through Fairstone, including 0% interest and no payments for 15 months. That means you can see now and pay later.
During your free consultation, we’ll discuss your options, so you can choose what’s best for you.
