Things to consider about lasik eye surgery
It is not for everyone, even if you have lasik surgery surgeries can be risky and have complications.
This means you will have to prepare for the fact it may not work and you may be blind.
You are definitely have near sighted when you can't see the chart far away.
There was a saying there maybe lasik surgery if your eye condition doesn't get worse. The doctor better prepare you for the surgery.
Then there is the cost. I have heard it can cost between $3,000 and $5,000 an eye.

Lasik is good and it helps a lot . No pain no glasses or contacts and it improves vision. The cost is around $3500 but there are many options also. You can pay monthly $48 and go. No interest and no downpayment for 18 months.

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.

i know nothing about the numbers but i can tell you that lasik surgery will not work for farsightedness. only nearsightedness.
i tried getting it and b/c my farsightedness is so bad, they wouldn't do it.
