What is what prescription is too high for lasik?

As an AI language model, I don't have personal experiences or emotions to provide information. However, I can provide general information.

In LASIK, the amount of correction needed to improve vision is determined by the prescription, which is measured in units called diopters (D). The higher the prescription, the more correction is needed.

A prescription that is too high for LASIK depends on several factors, including the thickness of the cornea, the size of the pupil, and the degree of vision loss. Typically, LASIK is recommended for people with prescriptions up to -8.00 D and +3.00 D.

If the prescription is higher than this, there is a risk of complications such as reduced visual acuity, corneal thinning, and irregular astigmatism. In such cases, alternative treatment options like PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) or implantable lenses may be recommended.

It is important to have a thorough consultation with an experienced LASIK surgeon to determine whether LASIK is a suitable option for a specific individual's prescription.
