Queries regarding LASIK
Hi, Dr VaibhevYou mentioned in your answer that as the patient's age is 23 chances are that her number will not increase anymore.I'm 25 and recently found that my number has increased by .75 in both eyes. The doctor said that the axial length of my eye lens has increased in the last one and a half years.Can you tell if LASIK would be effective now?
