• Arthritis
  Certain systemic and autoimmune diseases may be disqualifiers, too. Examples include rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, HIV and AIDS. Basically, if your body has any trouble with healing, your corneas may not heal properly after LASIK. Opinions vary among surgeons as to which diseases are automatic disqualifiers and which ones might pose acceptable risks in certain cases.

Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  Glaucoma refers to a category of eye disorders often associated with a dangerous buildup of internal eye pressure, which can damage the eye's optic nerve that transmits visual information to the brain. With untreated or uncontrolled glaucoma, you might eventually notice decreased ability to see at the edges of your vision. Progressive eye damage could lead to blindness. As the second leading cause of blindness, glaucoma creates at least some vision loss in more than half of the approximately 2.5 million American estimated to have the eye disease.
• Ophthalmology
  Sight-threatening eye problems affect one in six adults aged 45 and older. And the risk for vision loss increases with age. In fact, a recent American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) report estimates that more than 43 million Americans will develop age-related eye diseases by the year 2020.
• Macular Degeneration
  Macular degeneration. Macular degeneration (also called age-related macular degeneration or AMD) is the leading cause of blindness among American seniors. According to the National Eye Institute (NEI), macular degeneration affects more than 1.75 million people in the United States. The U.S. population is aging rapidly, and this number is expected to increase to almost three million by 2020. Currently, there is no cure for AMD, but medical treatment may slow its progression or stabilize it.
• Laser Eye Surgery
  Laser eye surgery isn't for everyone. Here are six guidelines to help you decide if LASIK is right for you...
• Cataracts
  A cataract is a clouding of the eye's natural lens, which lies behind the iris and the pupil. The lens works much like a camera lens, focusing light onto the retina at the back of the eye. The lens also adjusts the eye's focus, letting us see things clearly both up close and far away.
• Cataract Surgery
  Some age-related eye changes, such as presbyopia, are perfectly normal and don't signify any sort of disease process. While cataracts can be considered an age-related disease, they are extremely common among seniors and can be readily corrected with cataract surgery.
• Eye Exam
  If you want to perform your best in sports, you may benefit from seeing an eyecare practitioner who specializes in sports vision — even if you already have 20/20 vision. This is because a typical eye exam usually doesn’t include tests of visual skills important to sports performance.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  Diabetic retinopathy, this disease is a leading cause of blindness in American adults. It is caused by changes in the blood vessels of the retina. In some people with Diabetic Retinopathy, retinal blood vessels may swell and leak fluid. In other people, abnormal new blood vessels grow on the surface of the retina. Any person with diabetes is most likely to get diabetic retinopathy. The longer the person has had diabetes the more likely they will get diabetic retinopathy.

Radiologist

• Chemotherapy
  CMV retinitis is caused by the cytomegalovirus, which is a very common virus. About 80% of adults harbor antibodies to CMV, which indicates their bodies have successfully fought it off. The difference for people who have AIDS is that their weakened or non-functioning immune system cannot stave off this virus. Other people with a weakened or suppressed immune system, such as those undergoing chemotherapy or a bone marrow transplant, are also at risk of CMV retinitis.
