Regarding specs removal
I use specs for my eye sight, with the number -2.75 for both the eyes.
I have used lenses as well for around 4 years.
But since march 2020 I am using only specs at home as I am at home due to lock down.
So now i do not want to use specs too.
Can you please suggest which surgey would be best. And what is the expected expenditure?
And which is the best hospital or eye specialist near by I can visit for?
And please suggest if I need to take any precaution before the visit.
Thanks.

Hi...
The number is not high, so Lasik should be good option for you. A detailed evaluation is done to see if your eyes are suitable for the procedure.
No precautions needed. You are not supposed to wear contact lenses for couple of days before..
Any good hospital will do, and you should feel comfortable with the doctor.
