How bad must someone's eyesight be for eye surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not bad: I am guessing you are talking about lasik surgery. This can correct many deficits of eyesight caused by a need for glasses. It will not improve eyes with vision deficit that cannot be corrected by glasses. Discuss this with you laser ophthalmic surgeon.
