Lasik Surgery query
I recently got my eye prescription checked in 2 different hospitals within a gap of 15 days.
Surprisingly both gave me different prescriptions,
First hospital -
Right eye: -6.5 spherical with -1.0 cylindrical, 180 axis
Left eye: -7 spherical with -1.75 cylindrical, 180 axis
Second hospital -
Right eye: -7 spherical with -1 cylindrical, 180 axis
Left eye: -7 spherical with -1.25 cylindrical, 175 Axis
I am planning for Lasik but am confused because of this different prescriptions.
Is Lasik completely dependent on these prescriptions, and will a wrong prescription results in under or over correction?

Please go for the dilated refraction, with that the chances of error post LASIK reduce to a minimum. Also, discuss these in detail with your surgeon regarding these variations.
