What vision problems can LASIK fix?
For many years now, LASIK has been an effective tool for correcting a vast array of vision problems. Anything from astigmatism to severe vision impairment can be remedied with a LASIK procedure. Many celebrities including Tiger Woods, Courtney Cox, and Brad Pitt have corrected severe vision problems with LASIK surgery.
Many individuals who were considered “legally blind” before LASIK, now enjoy 20/20 vision. Tiger Woods could not even see the ball on the golf tee before he had his LASIK procedure. Today, he has 20/20 vision.
There are many factors you and your eye doctor must consider when determining whether LASIK is right for you, but severe vision impairments don’t necessarily mean you’re not a candidate. If you’re still unsure if you can ditch the glasses, schedule a consultation with Dr. Mark Whitten!
