Thre are limits, but yes LASIK is most commonly offered to correct myopia (also known as nearsightedness)
The short answer is Yes. But this will depend upon your level of myopia, your corneal thickness, age, medications, and health conditions. My suggestion to you would be to have a consultation with an ophthalmologist who is a refractive surgeon. The surgeon will be able to determine if you are a candidate for this type of surgery. Here is one of many good websites on the topic. Good luck and best wishes.
