You are not a good candidate for LASIK if you have keratoconus, corneas that are too thin or irregular or scarred or too dry, or if you have cataracts and/or certain ocular or systemic diseases. You need to see a LASIK specialist and have your eyes evaluated before you have any type of refractive surgery, including LASIK.
There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration to help determine if you are a good candidate. It is best to confirm with your doctor if you are eligible for laser eye surgery.
Unfortunately, this excellent question has too long an answer for this forum. You really need a complete eye exam to offer you a reasonable answer.
