Lasik Eye Correction

Can I get laser eye surgery in one eye?

Hi. My vision in one eye is good. Like 20/30 i think. But my other eye is bad. I have to get different contacts for each eye, and my eye glasses are different of each side. I want laser eye surgery. But I only want it for my bad eye. Mainly to save money, and the other reason is because I don't feel that I need it for the other eye. What do you think. Is this possible, can it be done?

1. It can be done.
2. It is possible and it was the way people had the surgery for years.
3. Yes. They charge per eye. If you pay for only one eye, thats all you'll get. Lasik consultations are required to be free. Go find out what they can do. You'd be happier with the results if your dominant eye has better acuity.
4. My uncle got the surgery years ago when it was still not so popular, he got one eye done, and still wore his glasses having a plain lens and then the prescription. Years later he got the second one done. It is definately possible.
5. Yes, of course. In fact, it will be a lot cheaper that way. Don't let a doctor try to persuade you that you should do it for both eyes--they are probably just trying to profit if they ask you that.
6. yes , but not sure , you must tell me you prescription to give you a solid opinion
