Hello
Both options are good: contact lens and LASIK
Your doctor will perform few tests like pentacam to see corneal thickness and topography and fundus examination and if all these tests are normal then LASIK surgery can be done

Hello,
You need to have same number on 2 occasion 6 month apart. Then go ahead and get your retina examined, get your eye testing done namely pachymetry and topography . If ok you can definitely get rid of glasses and enjoy good vision after LASIK.
You can also try contact lenses
Next Steps
consult an ophthalmologist for complete evaluation and then take a call if you want to switch to contact lenses or opt for LASIK.
