For the majority of the population, the ideal age range for LASIK surgery falls between 20 and 40 years. However, there is no upper limit for lasik provided the eye is healthy and does not have any other associated conditions(as discussed further)

Question

I'm currently using 1.0 power glasses for both eyes and want to stop depending on them. If I go for LASIK refractive surgery, what kind of side effects should I be prepared for?

My friends recently pointed out that my eyes aren't perfectly straight, just slightly off. I really don't want surgery and my parents aren't okay with it either. Is there any way to fix this without going under the knife? (Note: This keeps the original concerns intact while sounding natural and conversational. It avoids robotic phrasing, removes excess punctuation, and maintains a worried but hopeful tone typical of someone seeking medical advice online.)

Question

I'm 20 years old and wear high-index glasses. I'm trying to figure out which eye surgery would be better for me LASIK blade-free or ReLEx SMILE. Can you help me understand the pros and cons of each? I'm a bit worried about making the right choice.
