I have an 11.5 power in my glasses and I'm considering Lasik surgery is it usually a one-time procedure or are follow-ups needed? Also, what's the approximate cost and which are the best clinics in Hyderabad for this? I'm a bit nervous about the whole process and want to make sure I pick the right place.

i have minus 9 and i'm considering smile surgery will it fully correct my vision or is there usually some undercorrection? how does the smile procedure work exactly?
