Does having ulcerative colitis automatically make me ineligible for Lasik or PRK?

Asked By:hjh1 in Ohio, OH

I have had UC for 7 years, it's been under control for 6. I've never been hospitalized or had any complications. I've had 16 knee surgeries including PKR with no healing issues. I've never had an eye infection or any problems with my eyes.
