What Does Fainting During An Eye Examination Indicate?
Hello, I just wanted some information regarding lasik. Years ago, I fainted after an eye examination. It wasn t because I m particular squimish or anything though. The eye doctor said it was rare and attributed it to something I forget the name of. After some research it might have been Vasovagal Syncope. I don t really know. But I wanted to know, is this something that will affect me being eligible? I m assuming I should disclose it when I go in for a consultation, correct? Thank you for the help.

It does sounds like vasovagal syncope and it is quite common in young people. Don't worry. It won't affect you in anyway.
