Several: Lasik cannot work if the power of the eye needs for correction is too high like myopia over -11.00 power. It can be difficult if the cornea is too thin. If the eyes has internal problems like uveitis, or glaucoma, then this might be a problem and should not be done during pregnancy. Dry eyes can predict dry eyes afterwards. Discuss yours eyes with a lasik surgeon.
