Lasik Surgery and Heterochromia

I'm currently 16 and have fairly poor eyesight. I've been considering Lasik but definitely for years down the road. I also have central heterochromia and I love it. Although I don't think anything could happen, I was wondering if Lasik has the possibility of hampering with my heterochromia. Any thoughts?

I would need more information.  What do you mean by central heterochromia.  Are the two eyes two different colors or the center of both eyes lighter?  Also, poor eyesight means you have thick glasses or a disease leading to uncorrectable vision deficit?

The inner parts of both of my irises are goldish while the outer rings are blue. And I know that my poor eyesight isn't linked to heterochromia iridum, I just want to make sure Lasik wouldn't change the different pigmentations in my eyes.

LASIK reshapes the cornea (the clear window covering the iris), so it shouldn't have any impact on the color of your iris.,

cwatt1 is correct.  Why do you have poor vision?

[ErikaRicaneuse]

I just have always had poor vision. I'm near sighted just like my mom so I suppose it's hereditary.

PS: Thank you cwatt1!
