If you had an injury to your eye, your cornea may not be suitable for reshaping. You also need to have a certain thickness on your cornea in order for them to slice the flap, re sculpt the cornea and replace the flap. If your cornea has been damaged, you may not have enough there to work with. When I worked in the Ophthalmologist's office, we did LASIK and they often helpd free seminars and did free pre-testing to determine if you were a good candidate for the procedure. There are several tests that they can do that will enable them to see if it would help you. Call around to your local Ophthamologists' offices and ask about any seminars. Around here in PA, they advertise them on the radio. Good luck!
