Lasik surgery
I am 22 years old and my both eyeys -3power i want to do lasik surgery any. Side effect of that or any suggestions

For this power medically it is not indicated. You can see with glasses especially since you do not have astigmatism or cylinder power if it is only -3.0DS.
Side effects are dry eyes and blurring of night vision which can be more of a problem than wearing glasses as you may have to use lubricating eye drops constantly.
Next Steps
However if you do opt for lasik for cosmetic reasons this is the right time, because if you do you will be spectacle free for another 6 to 10 years.
Health Tips
doing lasik over 35 year may not be so beneficial as you need reading glasses at 40 yrs, and cataracts may develop subsequently

Hi
For all practical purposes, Lasik is a safe surgery, if done after proper evaluation n with all care taken.
Some dryness can be expected. In high numbers, some pateint may get glare especially in night time. Then there is under or over correction in extremely small percentage ...most of the cases can be addressed.
Next Steps
