Who should consider LTK?
LTK tends to be carried out on patients aged 40 and over as the effects are temporary. Another factor is having a low level of hyperopia (long-sightedness).
It helps to have stable vision – in other words, your prescription has not changed over the last 2 years and to be in a good state of health.
Apart from this, the usual factors for suitability will apply. These include lifestyle, medical history and reasons for surgery.
