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.

Can a topography scan or slit lamp or pentacam detect if someone has had custom topography guided surface ablation like Lesik surgery I'm curious how doctors can tell if this procedure was done before

Yes, corneal topography (including Pentacam) and slit lamp examinations can often, but not always, detect if someone has had custom topography-guided surface ablation (like LASIK or PRK). The specific features that indicate past surgery and the degree to which it's detectable depend on the type of procedure, the extent of tissue removal, and the individual's healing response.
