In India, the minimum age for LASIK surgery is generally 18 years, but individual cases may be considered earlier if vision is stable and eyes are mature. LASIK costs in India vary significantly, ranging from ‚Çπ20,000 to ‚Çπ1,50,000 per eye, depending on factors like the hospital, surgeon's expertise, and the technology used.
