I'm getting LASIK surgery at AIIMS Delhi in July for astigmatism, but I'm worried about human error in the prescription. Since refraction tests are subjective, how do surgeons make sure they program the machine exactly right? What if my astigmatism axis or power is slightly off on surgery day? Do they recheck my eye power right before the procedure to avoid mistakes?
