Hello I can understand your concern but information provided by you is incomplete Kindly share your glasses prescription. Having said that, your doctor will perform few tests like pentacam to see corneal thickness and topography and schrimer test and retina examination and if all these tests are normal then Lasik can be done For more information you can read my health tips on Lasik available on practo healthfeed Regards
