That’s entirely up to you. I was -2.75 in my left eye and would be -3.00 (about 20/200 if I remember correctly) on a bad day which is the cutoff. So, I had LASIK and never regretted it as now I have 20/15 in both eyes. 

Still no problems with the procedure? How long of a recovery time ( I know it varies by each person), but I heard most people are up and going the next day?

No....the pre-operative limit for refractive surgery is -8.00. 

Great so as long as it is all in check, and even if I need the surgery, I should be fine as long as my corrected is better than that afterwards. Thanks for the clarification.

Mattey,

Your refractive error, i.e. glasses prescription, is all that matters.  If you are over -3.00, there is no waiver.  So don't base it on 20/200 (better or worse) as that doesn't matter.  You need to know if you exceed -3.00.

Thanks for the heads up, I will confirm with my eye doctor soon and I'm sure he can give me a definitive answer as I do not remember off of the top of my head. And I can not exceed -3.00 pre-surgery correct?

Just a quick question, I asked my doctor and he said that I am in range of all of the requirements (Myopia, Hyperopia, and Astigmatism). But I have pretty poor vision, I can sometimes read 20/200 and other days I'm unable to. From what I have read is that recently they have removed visual acuity, but should I still consider getting eye surgery?
