As far as surgery is concerned. ...u have not mentioned the type of surgery being planned for her. But getting rid of eye glasses is patients preference and her own cosmetic needs. Is she wishes to get rid of glasses then okay she can go ahead but each and every eye is different and can tolerate surgical intervention differently .so there are certain pre laser  test which should give green flag and the peripheral retinal examination is must before any kind of surgery. If both the above conditions are fulfilled only then can you contemplate surgery and before surgery one must talk to the performing eye surgeon in  detail about the risks and complications  involved and what to expect from  the surgical procedure after surgery.
