No: The only number that is too low is one in which you do not feel any need to wear glasses or contact lenses. People with refractions of -1.50 do well with lasik.

LASIK: It depends. Some people will have lasik in the 1.5 d range, both for near or far-sighted prescriptions. The best way to see if you are a good candidate is to find a qualified lasik professional in your area and have a lasik evaluation.
