Can I have LASIK surgery if I had strabismus surgery at a young age and have high astigmatism?

Doctor's Answer

There are multiple considerations when a surgeon assesses a patient’s suitability for any forms of laser vision correction procedure. Some of which include past surgery done as well as levels and stability of refractive errors and strabismus as you have rightly mentioned so. It would be best to go through a comprehensive pre-laser evaluation during which, all information about your eyes can be collected and from there, your eye surgeon will be in a better position to recommend the surgery type, allowing you to make an informed decision. You should bring along any past records of your strabismus surgery as it would be useful information for the surgeon when ascertaining your suitability for surgery.
