Yes, LASIK fixes myopia and astigmatism. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule. Your LASIK surgeon will do pre-op testing to make sure you are a good candidate
Yes, LASIK can fix myopia by altering the shape of the front of the eye with a laser. However, there are limits on how high a prescription can be treated. Your cornea has to be measured carefully after the surgery to avoid a bulging condition called corneal ectasia. Most surgeons recommend waiting until the age of 21 and require at least one year of a stable prescription.
