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?
