I assume that your question is referring to an enhancement procedure (either for regression of power or the onset of presbyopia) depends on the safety of performing such a procedure.
- Ensuring that no other ocular pathology exists (including senile cataract), that would benefit from a different procedure
- Sufficient corneal tissue is present (for further enhancement)
- Appropriate target refraction is chosen for an appropriate reading distance (most important if monovision is desired to be spectacle free for both distance and near reading)
- Whether an adjuvant procedure including collagen cross-linking is indicated.
