Each of my eyes are past 20/400. Would corrective surgery help get it to around 20/30 or better? I have astigmatism in my left eye.
I am in college working towards a microbio degree but I also really want to join the state police VERY much! Should I chance it? How much would a severe case like this cost?
Thanks!

Lasik surgery can correct your eyes to what they are capable of seeing. Meaning if you are able to see 20/20 out of your glasses or contacts than that is what lasik will do for you sometimes make it better. With new technology these days astigmatism is no longer an issue. As far as costs go it depends on where you live, the technology used and the doctor. I would say anymore between 3000 to 6000 for both eyes with your rx. Hope that helps and good luck to you.

Whether is will help depends on your prescription, corneal thickness and corneal topography, not on uncorrected acuity.
The only way to get the answer to this question is to have an assessment by a laser centre. Initial consults are often free.
