Laser operation to correct refractive errors is one of the commonly done surgery. It has got very good success results with nil or minimal complications.
You can undergo laser refractive surgeries like LASIK. These surgeries are safe with proven efficacy, you can undergo these laser surgeries.
The minimum criteria are age more than 18 years with stable refractive error without any change in the refractive power for last 1 year.
Do consult your eye doctor for examination of the eye and simple office tests like corneal topography and corneal thickness based on these tests reports you can undergo laser surgery.
