How much does laser eye surgery improve eyesight?!


Question: 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?

Answers:

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.

Surgeons aim to get 20/20. Any limitations on that would be due to the amount of tissue they have to play with (thickness of your cornea) or the healing process after surgery.
