The Lasik method is mainly for the correction of myopia (up to max. -10 diopters), hyperopia (up to max. +4 diopters) and astigmatism, a special refractive property of the eye, known as astigmatism skin or hyperopia (up to max. 5 diopters). Depending on the approved country and inserted Laser the values may differ in the brackets by a few diopters. Before the LASIK under it, however, requires a detailed preliminary investigation and interviews with experienced doctors.
