Suitability for lasik

2019-03-12 09:45:40
Hi, i am 32 years old and i am planning to go for lasik surgery. i have a cylindrical power(prescription added) which was stable for past 1-2 years (around -1.75) for left eye. however, in the recent check, it has suddenly gone up to -2.25. my doctor says that i can undergo lasik without any problem but i read that if vision has changed in past 6 months, one is not a suitable candidate for lasik. please advise if i can undergo lasik. i am also attaching my other eye related medical reports as well.

When your number remains stable for at least one year then you can get the lasik done.
