Some patients may not have 20/20 vision. In order to achieve this, you may be
required to wear contact lenses if you are one of the small percentage of patients
who have some irregular-induced astigmatism, or visual abberations. If your job

then laser vision correction is not indicated for you. However, if your goal is
to get out of glasses for the majority of the time, for distance work and driving,
and you are willing to wear reading glasses, if necessary, then this is a procedure
you may want to continue to consider. If you are one of the small percentage of
patients who have some irregular-induced astigmatism, or visual abberations, you
may be required to wear contact lenses.
