Can I have LASIK surgery if I have glaucoma?
People being treated for glaucoma typically are not good candidates for LASIK. LASIK for glaucoma patients is usually not recommended. This is because a suction device is used on the eye during the creation of the corneal flap during LASIK surgery, and this briefly causes a significant increase in intraocular pressure.
But you might be a candidate for another type of vision correction surgery, such as PRK (hyperlink to PRK in refractive page) , which does not require the use of a suction device.
