If your eyesight is poor due to myopia or astigmatism, LASIK, PRK, or SMILE are effective treatments. Other causes of reduced vision won't be solved with laser.
Whether eyesight may be corrected by laser surgery depends on what is wrong with the eye. No one type of treatment works for all conditions.
There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration to help determine if you are a good candidate. It is best to confirm with your doctor if you are eligible for laser eye surgery.
You need a LASIK evaluation to see if you qualify . It depends on your corneal thickness , rx etc.
