Being a surgeon requiresexcellent vision. Some types ofsurgeons require more excellent vision than others. Microsurgeons such as ophthalmologists, neurosurgeons andvascular surgeons need particularly sharp vision. Know that people who have 20/25 or even 20/30 see very well,and in my opinion can function quite well as surgeons, again, depending on thevisual demands. Orthopedicsurgeons, for example, tend to work with larger instruments, and heaviersutures, which may allow for less than 20/20 vision.And, as time goes on, weare seeing more “robotic” surgery (ie DaVinci) in various fields, which willextend a mortal surgeons’ limited dexterity (and possibly vision) to superhumanlevels.
Ocular microsurgery is a precise art that requires excellent vision from the surgeon. LASIK is the perfect safe and predictable treatment of myopia, astigmatism and hyperopia.
