If you're tired of wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses, you may wonder whether LASIK surgery is right for you. LASIK is short for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis. It is a surgery to correct blurry vision. The result of LASIK surgery for more than 99% of people is 20/40 vision or better.

Which procedure is better between LASIK and PRK when it comes to quality of vision after surgery and post-operative pain? I've heard there can be other issues after surgery too. Also, my corneal thickness is 495 um with a power of 3.50 in both eyes, and all my topography tests came back normal. Would LASIK or PRK be the better option for me to get rid of my glasses?

With normal topography and 495 Œºm corneal thickness, PRK is safer than LASIK and has less risk of complications; PRK has slightly more pain initially but similar long-term vision quality.

I'm a little concerned about my eye health and wanted some guidance. I have cylindrical power of 1.75 in both eyes, and I usually wear my glasses for reading, writing, using my phone or computer, and watching TV. Is it okay if I skip wearing them during other daily activities? I'm wondering if that would affect my vision or eye health. Could you give me some advice on this?
