Am I a Candidate for LASIK or PRK laser Eye Surgery?

Question

I have a astigmatism.my Cylinders in my eyes are left(--3.75).and right are (-2.50).

Answer 1

I had astigmatism and i had to get the prk surgery.  usually with the misshapen lens, you do not have enough room on your eye for them to do the lasik.  definitely go and get the free consultation, they will choose the best for you and address any concerns.

Answer 2

your question can only be answered thru physical examination of your eyes, your prescription has nothing to do with your candidacy for lasik, the condition of your cornea is everything.  Many Lasik centers will do the exam for free, call around.

Answer 3

Make an appointment with the ophthalmologist for screening and consultation. Consult with at least 2 or 3 of them to get different opinion and prices.

Answer 4

Lasik eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.

They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
