Is lasik surgery ok for a farsightedness?


both of my eyes have farsightedness but one is much worse than the other one which is my right one. I would love to get it fixed.

It should work for you. I go to a great eye doctor in NYC who was one of the doctors involved in starting this kind of surgery and he thinks it is great for most people, as long as their eyes are healthy.
A friend of mine in England just came over to visit and she had major problems with being farsighted, she could hardly see anything, she couldn't even learn to drive. She just had the surgery, about 6 months ago on both her eyes and it is like a new world to her, no more glasses, she can see, and she is in her 50's and it was safe. So, I would check out with a specialist and make sure that everything else is healthy, there are certain things, like ligament problems that can keep you from having the surgery (my problem) but other than that, why wear glasses if you don't have to anymore. I have a rare weird disease that keeps me from doing it, but, I know if I could I'd be there in a minute

no it is for near-sightedness (not being able to see distance)

Lasik eye surgery can fix anything, but aging eyes,so I was told.
