The majority of laser eye surgery is performed on patients with:
Myopia up to -8.00 D
Hyperopia up to +3.00 D
Astigmatism up to -4.00 D.
However, some surgeons have the expertise and technology that allows them to safely treat much higher prescriptions – a full correction is sometimes possible on prescriptions of:
Myopia up to -14.00 D
Hyperopia up to +6.50 D
Astigmatism up to -6.00 D.
If your prescription is higher than this, you should not be disheartened as it may be possible to significantly improve your vision with a partial correction. Alternatively, you can consider intraocular procedures such as an ICL or CLE, which can be used to correct almost any prescription.
