Will laser surgery work on my eyes??


I have astigmatism so will laser surgery still correct my vision?

It depends on the thiness of your cornea and how severe your astigmatism is. They will not do the surgery if your corneas are thinning due to the fact it could severely damage them.

im not sure but probaly you should talk to your eye doctor

Depends on how bad your astigmatism is. Mime wasn't so bad and I got the surgery. Hope you will be ok.

of course it will...if you are still young, the surgery will be perfect...they can fix both eyes...if you are over 40, you risk having "old eyes" and then they only correct one eye...

How old are you? You have to be 21 year old in the US for a laser eye surgery.

It might but ONLY a board certified Opthamoligist can tell you for sure. There are many factors involved, including gthe degree of astigmatism and the curvature and thickness of your cornea.

Go see a gooDr who has a lot of experience, and does more than just LASIK
