In most cases, LASIK can treat the most severe degrees of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.  Candidates must have realistic expections about their results.  LASIK is not right for everyone. 

To be a potential candidate for LASIK you must be at least 18 years old, in good health and have good eye health with no diseases such as cataracts or glaucoma.  Only an in-depth examination of your eyes, your individual case, your expectations and your lifestyle can determine if you are a good candidate.
