Actually the main factors you should consider in whether to have LASIK done, is just the same as anyone else ie the same as those without dry eyes.
These include, your main reasons for getting LASIK done-why you do not like glasses/contact lenses, how you feel about the potential risks/side effects of surgery, and depending on your age you may also need to consider how you would like to manage the problem of presbyopia/Lao Hua.
If you have already decided to have LASIK done based on the above considerations, then you should see a doctor for a LASIK assessment, and at that time he/she will assess the degree of dry eye you have and advise you accordingly. In many cases, a period of stopping contact lens wear together with regular artificial tear use may improve your dry eye state to a condition where LASIK will be just fine. On the other hand, if the doctor feels that your dry eye situation is too severe for LASIK, then he/she will advise you accordingly as well.
