Mild: -1.00 would be considered mild myopia (nearsightedness). There are many factors that go into making you a lasik candidate other than your prescription. Assuming you meet the other criteria, it can be corrected. See a refractive surgeon for consultation.

LASIK: Lasik can typically correct most patients with prescriptions between +5 to -10 d of prescription as long as they are good candidates otherwise.

Lasik may be for you: Lasik can correct nearsightedness up to -12....Lasik should be able to remove 100% of your glasses.. FYI.... -4.00 is legally blind without glasses...
