Can I do LASIK
Answers (5)
Better to wait for few more months. Spectacle power should be constant for at least 1 to 1.5 year before undergoing lasik.
Since you got spectacles only 1.5 years back...better to wait

Corneal topography ( Pentacam) and retinal evaluation will be required for understanding your fitness for LASIK.
Kindly get those investigations done for the final decision
