What can laser eye surgery fix?

can laser eye surgery treat all types of vision problems?

Laser eye surgery can fix all types of prescriptions including short sightedness, long sightedness and astigmatism. Generally speaking laser eye surgery can fix higher degrees of short sightedness than long sightedness.
Short sightedness can typically be corrected up to about -12.00. Long sightedness can normally be treated up to about +5.00
Laser eye surgery can fix astigmatism up to about +/-6.00. These figures vary depending on your individual circumstances and from clinic to clinic.
Laser eye surgery can generally NOT fix a lazy eye but this does depend on how lazy it is so it is best to discuss this with a laser eye surgeon.
