Will lasik work for me?

I got a really high prescription and not sure if i will be able to have lasik or not?

Whether Lasik will work for you or not really does depend on a variety of factors. Lasik will generally treat short sighted prescriptions up to -12.00 and long sighted prescriptions up to +5.00. It can also treat astigmatism up to +/- 6.00. This is the maximum treatable range and can only be achieved if you have thick enough corneas. Generally speaking Lasik will not treat a lazy eye. You really need to have a laser eye surgery consultation to see if you are suitable for laser eye surgery.
