Will LASIK surgery help me correct my vision?

Answered by: Dr M S Ravindra | Consultant Ophthalmologist,
Karthik Netralaya, Bangalore

Q: I am a 25 years old male. Kindly check the below readings and suggest the best possible solution with no-side effects and approximate cost.

Right Eye:

SPH:-14
CYL:-1.75
AXIS:10.0
V/A: 6/9

Left Eye:

SPH:-11.0
CYL:-1.75
AXIS:170.0
V/A: 6/9

Will LASIK surgery help me?

A:I need further information to decide:

K readings
Corneal thickness
Schirmers test results
Endo AC depth

However, in general, as your powers are higher, ICL is a better option, as it gives natural vision unlike Lasik for that high power. Also, ICL does not disturb corneal thickness, and has no ectasia risks.
