Thyroid diseases, such as hypothyroidism (Hashimoto) are not an absolute contraindication to undergoing a laser vision correction procedure. However, to be qualified for the procedure, it is necessary to provide a medical certificate from your endocrinologist attesting to the degree of the disease, stabilisation of hormone levels and lack of contraindications to the laser vision correction surgery.
It should be taken into consideration that thyroid diseases may slow down the healing process in the eyes and prolong the convalescence period. If you are considering undergoing laser vision correction, make an appointment for a preliminary qualifying examination to rule out any other possible contraindications to the procedure.
