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?
