With a Prescription of -10.5, Am I a Candidate for Lasik?

February 6, 2010
Asked By:Ryfka in USA

I keep hearing two different opinions: one that it's OK and people with higher prescriptions had Lasik done and have perfect vision now, and the other that all I could get is reducing my prescription to around -4. My eyes are healthy, only very near-sighted. Can you give me some advice?
