With astigmatism and a prescription of -7.25 and -6.75 will lasik work?
This prescription can be treated by many types of lasers and my personal experience is that LASIK can work for this correction. There are other things to consider however including how thick are the corneas, how large are the pupils, how much is the astigmatism, and what is the shape of the corneas to begin with. Only a full eye examination can fully answer this question, but many patients with very strong prescriptions can be successfully corrected by LASIK and regardless of the prescription, it is worth having a competent eye specialist evaluate your situation thoroughly. Many LASIK doctors such as ourselves offer no cost evaluations to help you make this determination.
