Laser power correction

2022-02-21 12:18:37
Hi, I am planning to undergo laser power correction while I am a bit skeptical of its side effects if any. Can anyone help me with the surgery recommendation(is it okay to opt for it or not) and inform me about the possible side effects. Thanks.

About lasik surgery, at present with new available technology there are minimal complications but mild dry eye could be there which can be treated with tear drops.
Next Steps
It is better to go to lasik or refractive surgery specialist for workup required before lasik
