I have anisometropia with a 4D power difference between my eyes, and my doctor recommended LASIK. Could you let me know how much the LASIK surgery costs at your hospital? I'm a bit concerned about the procedure and want to understand the expenses involved.

Your doctor will perform few tests like Pentacam to check corneal thickness and topography and retinal evaluation and if all these tests are normal then lasik can be done Cost depends on type of lasik For single eye it may range from 15k to 35k
