I am currently 20 and looking to get lasik surgery. However my vision hasnt been steady at all. Yet I really want to get it even if it isnt stable. Whats the reasoning for doctors not wanting to do lasik on unstable vision?And can i get the surgery anyways?

What is the lowest vision that they will perform lasik surgery on?

I want to get lasik but Im afraid my vision isn’t bad enough. I have -2.00 in both eyes and -.25 astigmatism. I wear contacts but i get sick of putting them in and taking them out everyday and not being able to fall asleep watching tv and not being able to see the clock when I wake up. Would I be a good candidate for it? I have still have to wait though b/c even though im old enough my eyes haven’t stablized yet.

How long after LASIK should I not have blurred vision?

I had Lasik surgery 2 days ago and I am seeing much better. However it is not a good as it was with contacts. My perscription was -9 and I had intralace. I can still see well but I mainly notice it when I am driving. I don’t seem to see the highway signs as fast as I usually did. Will it get better?

Do you need to be asleep to have laser eye surgery done?

Also what are other forms of correcting vision besides eye surgery & simply getting glasses/contact lens?

Can I be a pilot in the RAF if my vision is corrected using laser eye surgery?

At the moment I am short sighted, yet I want to be a pilot in the RAF. I was wandering whether the RAF would still accept you as a pilot if you’ve had laser eye surgery.
