Anxiety before a medical procedure is incredibly common, and for LASIK patients, a mild sedative like Xanax can be offered to help ease nerves. While the surgery is not painful thanks to numbing eye drops, the thought of being awake for an eye procedure can be unnerving for some.

While LASIK has a high success rate, approximately 15-20% of potential candidates are deemed ineligible, often due to underlying health conditions or the medications they take. Understanding what medications disqualify you from LASIK is a critical first step for anyone considering laser eye surgery.
