Can you expect 0 number after Lasik?
I am planning to go for Lasik surgery and my eye prescription is -7 in both eyes with -1 cylindrical. I had consulted a doctor for Lasik, he told me that even after Lasik your prescription will not become 0.
He said the number never becomes 0 after Lasik, is it true?
