I have myopia. Have queries for lasik
My eye power is - 4.5 and have no other issues as checked by doctor a week ago. It is consistent since 3-4 years. I am willing to go under lasik and thus have few queries. Recently working in a company, I watch my laptop screen daily. How long will I have to avoid watching screen before and after lasik? Can I wear specs before lasik? Any other precautions I have to take? Please help here. Thanks
