Can laser eye surgery treat amblyopia (lazy eye)?
While laser eye surgery cannot specifically treat a lazy eye, suitability for laser surgery with an aim of improving overall vision will depend on the best corrected visual acuity of the lazy eye. Many patients with mild lazy eyes have had successful outcomes after laser surgery. If you have a prescription, contact a Patient Education Consultant to discuss this over the telephone, however, we cannot make a final determination without an initial screening.
