What is the highest nearsightedness power one can have for LASIK surgery?

[North Massapequa]

I have pretty high prescription which is over -12 and I wonder if I am qualified for Lasik surgery.

It depends on many factors, the thickness of your cornea, your pupil size, the prescription of your eyes.

[North Norwich]

If your prescription is very high while your cornea is very thin, then you shouldn't have lasik surgery because high prescription need more tissue to be ablated.

Normally people with -12 prescription can also have lasik surgery,but the doctor need to check the thickness of your cornea and other things such as pupil size,eye pressure etc to make sure you are a good candidate for surgery..
