Understanding Can I Get Lasik Or Other Laser Eye -Web Information
i hav thought about getting laser eye surgeries, and so i read about them. i found that if one has autoimmune disease, it is not very good to get them because you can get infections or negative side effects. well, i have eczema, and it is a kind of autoimmune diseases that affect your skin, i am not sure if this will affect me if i get my surgery, or if i am qualify for it.
thank you for your tiime reading =]
my eczema is atopic dermatitis, which is one of the most common kinds of eczema. what it means is that my skin gets dry very easily. unlike sohhrea, which is on the scalp, atopic dermatitis is usually on legs, arms, and feet. luckily, i hav mild chronical atopic dermatitis, which only required regular use of moisturizer and lotion.

Seborrhea (seborrheic dermatitis, seborrheic eczema, dandruff, cradle cap) is an inflammatory skin condition which affects the oil glands (sebaceous glands), causing the skin to be oily and flaky at the same time. Due to this combination, people who suffer with the condition often pursue a frustrating series of remedies which only make symptoms worse.
The cause of the condition is uncertain, but it is thought that hormones or a fungus may be responsible. It is more prevalent in people with neurological conditions including head injuries, strokes, and Parkinson’s disease, as well as those with HIV. Stress seems to worsen the symptoms.
Seborrhea most commonly affects the scalp, showing up as dandruff or cradle cap, but can affect other parts of the body including the face (particularly the eyebrows, eyelids, creases of the nose, lips, and around the ears), chest, and in the folds of the arms, legs, and groin. Symptoms can include:
Oily or greasy areas of skin
Flaky skin or scales
Raised red patches (plaques)
Skin lesions
Itching
Mild redness
Hair loss in extreme cases
Your doctor may simply refer to seborrhea as eczema, but there are many types of eczema, and it is important to know the underlying cause of the condition when considering eye surgery. Seborrhea is often mistaken as a symptom of allergies.
For most people with seborrhea, LASIK is a safe procedure, but seborrhea can cause dry eye which can cause LASIK complications. It can also cause inflammation of the eyelid (blepharitis). If blepharitis is present you should not undergo surgery until it has been successfully treated.
EDIT: That’s because it IS an article on LASIK and conditions that contraindicate LASIK. Rather than spend the time to present the case I chose to simply cut and paste the article. It gave you the information you needed and it was available in a nutshell. Not trying to be offensive but if you have already read that article why the need for the question?
