How bad do your eyes have to be to not be able to get laser eye surgery?

I really want laser eye surgery and I have a few questions. My eyes are really bad, one is - 7 and the other is - 9 and those are the numbers for my contact lenses. What's the worst prescription you can have and still get laser eye surgery? Also, I have floaters on my eyes, is it still possible to get the surgery with floaters on your eyes? Floaters are little dots that you see in your normal vision for those who do not know For those who live in Canada and have gotten it done, how much did you pay for your surgery?

Responses:

You would have to have a consultation. It is not just as simple as just measuring your prescription. During laser surgery the surgeon slices a layer off the front of your cornea in very simple terms so, the thickness of your cornea is a huge factor. ie. you could have a very thin cornea but only have a small prescription and be unsuitable for surgery or you could have a higher prescription and be suitable because your cornea is thick. I feel the answer will be no because your true prescription will be stronger than your contact lens prescription and over a - 9 is really pushing it but you will never know unless you see some surgeons. It is cosmetic surgery so treat it like that, See several surgeons and get several opinions, do not opt for the cheapest, opt for the one with best results and recommendations. There are other types of refractive surgery for example cataract surgery without actually having a cataract! so there may be an option for you :
talk to your opthalmologist and do not forget that your vision may not be corrected to perfection
Well, I haven't had it myself personally, but a lot of friends swear by it, and are glad that they got it. My brother got it India through India Health Guru Consultants, and he said it was great Laser eye surgery helped millions of people to be able to see, without the help of contacts and gl es. It will help you too, but make sure you get the right doctor for the procedure. After the surgery, one feels mild discomfort or pain for a couple of days. The procedure itself is not painful because they give you anaesthetic drops to numb the eye. For the first week, one may have sensitivity to light as blurry vision and dry eyes. All these side effects disappear within a few days and. The process is simple, safe and fast. They are making big improvements in this field, so it's probably worth it if you can afford it and do not need to use your eyes for a few days for info, please visit the link indianhealthguru.com
