Lasik Surgery query

2022-12-19 19:40:24
I recently got my eye prescription checked in 2 different hospitals within a gap of 15 days. Surprisingly both gave me different prescriptions, First hospital - Right eye: -6.5 spherical with -1.0 cylindrical, 180 axis Left eye:  -7 spherical with -1.75 cylindrical, 180 axis Second hospital - Right eye: -7 spherical with -1 cylindrical, 180 axis Left eye: -7 spherical with -1.25 cylindrical, 175 Axis I am planning for Lasik but am confused because of this different prescriptions. Is Lasik completely dependent on these prescriptions, and will a wrong prescription results in under or over correction?

Please go for the dilated refraction, with that the chances of error post LASIK reduce to a minimum. Also, discuss these in detail with your surgeon regarding these variations.
