Question 1

I'm a 23-year-old male with eyesight above 7 in both eyes and considering LASIK surgery. A clinic asked me to get a corneal scan test for Rs 3500 to check if I'm eligible. 
 
 Can I do the pre-tests at one hospital and the actual LASIK at another? Will the second hospital accept the reports or make me retest? 
 
 Also, two hospitals quoted different prices for the scan Rs 2000 and Rs 3500. Since it's a machine-based test, does going for the cheaper option affect accuracy or should I pay more for better quality?

Accepted Answer

ophthal opinion is advised for tt.

Question 2

Here's a natural, conversational rephrasing of the query: 
 
 *I have an eye power of -3 and want to reduce it naturally with Ayurveda. Can Ayurveda really help improve eyesight without surgery? If yes, how long would it usually take to see results?* 
 
 This version keeps the tone genuine and specific while sounding organic in an online consultation. Let me know if you'd like any refinements!

Accepted Answer
