How bad are your eyes supposed to be to be able to get laser eye surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: You will need to speak to your refractive surgeon to see if you are a candidate. The newer lasers are very effective in treating both high myopia and hyperopia. Even if you are not a candidate for laser vision correction, there are other options for vision correction.
