I've been wearing glasses for 15 years with a power of 3.75 and I'm considering LASIK surgery to get rid of them. Is LASIK a good option for someone like me? What should I expect during the procedure and recovery? Are there any risks or side effects I should be aware of? Also, how do I know if I'm even eligible for it?

With a -3.75 prescription and 15 years of wearing glasses, you're likely a good candidate for LASIK. However, a consultation with an eye surgeon is crucial to determine if LASIK is the right option for you and to discuss any potential risks or alternatives.

I've been noticing two floaters one medium-sized in my right eye and a smaller one in the left.
