Operation for Myopia

2017-07-08 11:36:19
I have nearsightedness for about 11 years but for the past 3 years my eye sight number has been constant at around 8. I am 25 years old now so wanted to know if it's the right time for an operation to correct my nearsightedness. Also what's the rehabilitation time after operation and the success rate in India. Also expenditures involved.
