LASIK surgery suggestion
Hello, I am 25 years, I want to get done my lasik eye surgery. My spherical power s -4.00 in both eye, it is stable from a year but nw cylindrical power has come -0.50, due to this change should I not go for lasik surgery.?

Since the spherical power is stable since 1 year and very minimal cylinder power has appeared there should not be much problem with going ahead for lasik...still eligibility for lasik will only be decided post proper lasik related eye examination
Next Steps
Lasik work up including final refractive error assessment corneal topography to rule out keratoconus dry eye work up
