If you have a autoimmune disease, why can't you have lasik surgery?

Any kind of surgery would be risky, because your immune system isn't functioning normally and of course could lead to complications while healing.

because the an infection could blind you i had prk

Because the surgery itself puts bacteria into your system that increases your health risks immensely.

If you have an autoimmune disease, you're going to find that any surgery is very much more dangerous for you than it is for someone with a healthy immune system.

Your eye is your only exposed organ, that makes it more suseptible to infection. If you have autoimmune disease and therefore a weakened immune system, your body couldn't fight off the infection that you might get in your eye. Then the infection could spread (maybe to the brain too, I'm not sure though) and you would lose your eyesight (and most likely your eyeball).

if you want to fix your immune system you need Immunocal. It has raise you glutathione.glutathione is the first line of self denfense for the immnune system. to buy it go to www.immunotec.com/anchante

When laser vision correction was first approved, there was concern about healing and dry eye. Recent studies indicate LASIK is probably OK if autoimmune disease is in remission.
