hello lasik is very good option to get rid of glasses Doctor will perform few tests (Schirmer test, Pentacam and Fundus examination) and if all tests are normal then you can go for lasik surgery without fear. Success rate of LASIK is over 96%.

Laser surgery can be done for ages 19 and above if u meet certain criteria. Would recommend to consult your ophthalmologist for a complete refractive work up.
