I'm a 23-year-old male with eyesight above 7 in both eyes and considering LASIK surgery. A clinic asked me to get a corneal scan test for Rs 3500 to check if I'm eligible. Can I do the pre-tests at one hospital and the actual LASIK at another? Will the second hospital accept the reports or make me retest? Also, two hospitals quoted different prices for the scan Rs 2000 and Rs 3500. Since it's a machine-based test, does going for the cheaper option affect accuracy or should I pay more for better quality?

I've been researching Femto LASIK and SMILE LASIK for my vision correction but I'm a bit confused about the differences between them. Which one is safer and has fewer complications? I'm worried about recovery time and long-term effects can you explain which procedure might be better for someone with moderate myopia?

SMILE LASIK is generally considered more minimally invasive and potentially safer than Femto LASIK, with reduced risk of flap-related complications and dry eye. While both have similar recovery times, SMILE may offer an advantage for individuals prone to dry eyes. For moderate myopia, SMILE may be a better option due to its minimal invasiveness and lower risk of complications

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?
