LASIK eye surgery can cost anywhere from ‚Çπ20,000 to ‚Çπ1,50,000 for both eyes in India, depending on the type of procedure and location. Eligibility typically involves having stable vision, a prescription within certain ranges, and generally healthy eyes without certain conditions like glaucoma or keratoconus. Risks include dry eyes, glare, halos, and potential for under or over correction. Some people may choose not to get LASIK due to fear of complications, the cost, or if they don't qualify due to existing eye conditions.

I had squint eye surgery last year but might need another one will a second surgery definitely fix my eyes this time or is there still a chance it won't work?

A second squint surgery can correct residual deviation but success depends on muscle healing, previous scarring, and proper alignment planning.

Can a slit lamp microscope alone detect if PRK or TransPRK surgery has fully healed or would I need additional tests to confirm everything's okay

No, slit lamp alone can't confirm healing after PRK/TransPRK. Additional tests like corneal topography, pachymetry, and visual acuity are needed for complete assessment.
