Is getting LASIK worth it?

Yes, LASIK is worth it for many young patients, provided they are suitable candidates. In people with stable eye power and healthy corneas, LASIK eye surgery can significantly reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses and improve quality of life. Many patients choose LASIK because spectacles interfere with daily activities like sports, travel, driving, and screen use. The procedure is quick, usually painless as it is done with numbing eye drops, and recovery after laser eye surgery is fast for most individuals. However, LASIK is not meant for everyone, and a detailed eye examination is essential to check corneal thickness, dry eye status, and retinal health before deciding. When done responsibly at a trusted eye hospital in Navi Mumbai, many young patients feel that getting LASIK was absolutely worth it.
