I went to the eye hospital just to check my power for glasses since I don't wear any and never had my eyes checked before. The doctor recommended a scan and then said I need C3R surgery for both eyes within two months. They mentioned normal power is 500 and mine is 419, with anything under 300 being critical. I'm only 24 and just wanted to check my power now I'm worried about this surgery. Should I go ahead with it or get a second opinion?

ophthal opinion is advised to the pt.
