My sister has been suffering from Steven Johnson syndrome for 10 years and her vision keeps getting worse. We've tried multiple eye surgeries but nothing has worked so far. She needs a keratoplasty transplant do you know which hospitals in India perform this procedure? I'm really worried and need some guidance on where to go.

Yes, LASIK surgery can be a good option for your prescription, especially if you have stable vision and healthy corneas. It can correct both spherical and cylindrical errors effectively. However, a detailed pre-LASIK evaluation by an ophthalmologist is essential to ensure you're a suitable candidate.
