I've been wearing glasses for 15 years with a power of 3.75 and I'm considering LASIK surgery to get rid of them. Is LASIK a good option for someone like me? What should I expect during the procedure and recovery? Are there any risks or side effects I should be aware of? Also, how do I know if I'm even eligible for it?

With a -3.75 prescription and 15 years of wearing glasses, you're likely a good candidate for LASIK. However, a consultation with an eye surgeon is crucial to determine if LASIK is the right option for you and to discuss any potential risks or alternatives.

Question

Eye pain and head shaking have been bothering me lately, and I'm seeing floaters in my vision. I got my eyes checked 3 months ago my prescription is right eye 5.0 with 1.50 cylinder at 90 axis, left eye 5.25 with 1.25 cylinder at 90 axis. The doctor said my number is right, but I'm still having issues. Would laser eye surgery help in my case, and if so, how much would it cost?
