A member asked:
Please help docs! is lasik surgery possible after eye injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Is the injury on the eye surface? Did the injury lower the vision internally by damage to the lens, retina or some other internal part? Lasik can only reproduce the best vision possible with glasses or contacts but cannot compensate for internal injury.
