Lasik eye surgery
Hi
I have around -7 spherical and -1 cylindrical power. My insurance provider says Lasik surgery is covered if refractive power is greater than -7.5. Does refractive power mean spherical + cylindrical. In that case my Lasik surgery will be covered in insurance or not?

Pl consult your lasik surgeon and the insurance company. These companies are always troublesome.

You'll have to talk to your insurance company. It should mostly get covered under insurance.
