If you have a autoimmune disease, why can't you have lasik surgery?

Answer 1

Any kind of surgery would be risky, because your immune system isn't functioning normally and of course could lead to complications while healing.

Answer 2

Because the surgery itself puts bacteria into your system that increases your health risks immensely.

If you have an autoimmune disease, you're going to find that any surgery is very much more dangerous for you than it is for someone with a healthy immune system.

If you have autoimmune disease and therefore a weakened immune system, your body couldn't fight off the infection that you might get in your eye. Then the infection could spread (maybe to the brain too, I'm not sure though) and you would lose your eyesight (and most likely your eyeball).
