I'm planning to get Lasik eye surgery soon but I'm really confused about which type to choose. There are so many options like SMILE, iFS, and others, and I want to make sure I pick the safest and most suitable one for my eyes. My current prescription is RE 7.50 SPH 1.50 CYL 180 AXIS Vision 66 and LE 8.00 SPH 0.75 CYL 180 AXIS Vision 66. Can you help me understand which Lasik technology would work best for my high power and give me the best results? I'm a bit worried about safety and long-term effects.

For high prescription (7–8D with astigmatism),Flap LASIK techniques like femto+wavefront or SMILE are preferable—discuss options with surgeon for safety and precision.

My daughter has been prescribed glasses for her vision issues and I wanted to check if Lasik surgery could help her. Her prescription is Right Eye and Left Eye SPH 7.00, CYL 1.00, Axis 170, Vision DV 66 NV N6 DV. Can Lasik correct her vision at this power level and how effective would it be? Also, what's the cost and how much can her vision improve? What's the maximum power level where Lasik still works?

You hv given glass prescription of one eye or if both eyes are same power, I do not know. Lasik is suitable for 1 to 8 D ..but is a generalized statement ..after thorough check up the doctor can tell you if it is suitable for her or no. The cost varies according to the type and place where you do lasik.
