I'm a 23-year-old male with eyesight above 7 in both eyes and considering LASIK surgery. A clinic asked me to get a corneal scan test for Rs 3500 to check if I'm eligible. Can I do the pre-tests at one hospital and the actual LASIK at another? Will the second hospital accept the reports or make me retest? Also, two hospitals quoted different prices for the scan Rs 2000 and Rs 3500. Since it's a machine-based test, does going for the cheaper option affect accuracy or should I pay more for better quality?

My eye power is -11 in both eyes and I really want to get rid of my glasses. Is there any treatment or surgery that can help me? Could you suggest what options might work for my case?

If you're tired of wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses, you may wonder whether LASIK surgery is right for you. LASIK is short for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis. It is a surgery to correct blurry vision. The result of LASIK surgery for more than 99% of people is 20/40 vision or better.
