Good afternoon, yes , it can be performed in suitable cases, as we have to take a lot of factors before doing lasik. Another option is ICL, in which a customised lens ( made according to the dimensions of patients eye and refractive power) is placed over patient’s natural lens
Next Steps
Consult a refractive surgeon in person
