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?

Why do so many doctors and nurses wear glasses instead of getting laser eye surgery even when their eyes are fit for it? The doctor I consulted said it's just cosmetic and advised against surgery, but I'm curious why medical professionals seem to prefer specs over LASIK if it's safe and effective
While LASIK surgery is a safe and effective way to correct vision, many doctors and nurses choose to wear glasses due to a variety of factors, including personal preference, potential complications, and even perceived professional image. A doctor's advice against surgery may be based on individual patient factors and a conservative approach to treatment.
