laser surgery for lazy eye

Anything that can caause you to not be able to have laser eye surgery?

I’ve been thinking about laser eye surgery for a while now and am really curious whether there are conditions or just anything that could cause you to not be able to get it? My eye doctor appointment isn’t for a while so I can’t ask her just now.. My eyes have a prescription of +6.50 (left eye) and +5.00 (right eye) and my left eye is sort of like a lazy eye when it’s unfocussed (only sometimes though)

+6.50 & +5.00 are not good candidates for lasik. lasik works *really* well on NEARSIGHTED patients. it does not work so well on farsighted patients.

i personally dont send farsighted patients for lasik *at all* anymore. burned too many times. my surgeon says he’ll do them (he doesnt like it but he will) UP TO +4.00 and thats it. no +6.50′s or +5.00′s.

sorry. you may find someone who will do it, but if you were coming to my office, you would be told you’re not a candidate
