Hello,
Welcome to Health care magic.
I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
It seems from the history that you are having refractive error of -2.5 in both the eyes and you want to undergo LASIK surgery.
The refractive error of -2.5 indicates myopia and LASIK surgery can correct upto -10.0 dioptres of myopia, hence your refractive error can be easily corrected by LASIK.
LASIK surgery is on of the safest surgery to correct refractive errors and it has given very good successful in results for correction of myopia and other refractive errors.
The minimum requirements for LASIK procedure are
Age more than 18 years
Presence of stable refraction for more than 1 year without any change in the refractive error.
The above two you are fulfilling, hence no need to worry you can undergo LASIK surgery.
The other conditions that needs to be checked are adequate corneal thickness, diseases which cause corneal thinning.... all these will be ruled out by the treating eye surgeon before surgery.
The cost of LASIK depends on the type of lasik,
Lasik costs about Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 40,000
Intralase LASIK called as bladeless LASIK costs around Rs. 75,000 to Rs. 85,000
The surgery is done for both the eyes simultaneously and after the procedure you need to use eye drops for 4 weeks to 8 weeks.
Lasik is one of the most commonly performed refractive surgery with proven safety and efficacy. Hence no need to worry and no need to be nervous, you can undergo the lasik procedure after all the preliminary tests.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
