my eyes have a power of 5 at age 28 is lasik surgery a good option for me and can you suggest some reliable hospitals in kolkata for the procedure

At age 28 with a -5 diopter prescription, LASIK surgery is a good option for correcting your vision. Many surgeons consider the age range between 20 and 40 ideal for LASIK, as vision tends to stabilize during these years. A prescription of -5 diopters is within the range typically considered suitable for LASIK.
