In Dr. Dotson's opinion, "There are extremes of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, which are beyond what present techniques are able to correct. For example, some individuals have corneas that are too thin to fully correct the amount of the patient's refractive error. Other patients may have early or significant cataracts that will require surgery in the near future."
