My eye power is really high and I'm 28. Is LASIK surgery safe for me? I'm worried about the risks but really want to get rid of my glasses as soon as possible. Can you suggest if it's a good option for me?

However if there are fluctuations in eye power then there is a possibility of some recurrent eye power even after the LASIK surgery. Therefore it is important to ensure that the eye power is stable for the last 1-2 years before planning LASIK surgery

I had LASIK done a while back but I lost all the records from the procedure. If I need cataract surgery later on, will not having those LASIK details cause problems for my vision or eye health?

LASIK history helps in planning cataract surgery later but not always mandatory.Special imaging and intraocular lens selection may still allow safe surgery.
