Are there any known LASIK specialists who can guarantee better than perfect vision?
Ryan
I am 19 and very nearsighted. I have been told that I am a candidate for LASIK but I am hoping to get information on the best types as well as the best place to get it done at. I know I have high hopes but I'm wanting to get 20/15 - 20/10 preferably the best possible.
Answer
Anyone going into LASIK surgery expecting perfect vision (20/20) as a result should not have the surgery. Although LASIK is very good, no guarantee can be made as to visual acuity after surgery with the exception that it will improve vision. There is a chance that you will still require corrective lenses.
Do your homework and a lot of study and research including asking optometrists in the area who they would recommend for LASIK surgery. Remember, if you go cheap, the chances are you will get cheap and the consequences of after effects which could last a lifetime are too great to take a chance.
We send our patients to the Bochner Eye Institute in Toronto, even though we're located in Pennsylvania. We consider them to be some of the best surgeons around.

How much does laser eye surgery improve eyesight?
I have 20/200 vision in my left eye and 20/50 in my right eye. How much would the surgery improve that, if you were to guess?
Answer
I'm not sure what my exact VA was before Lasik. I couldn't see the big E (20/400) with both eyes, I was counting fingers at about 10 feet max. Now I'm 20/15 in both eyes.
They'll check the thickness of your cornea before the procedure to see if they'll be able to take enough off to completely correct your vision.
