Is LASIK Eye Surgery expensive? Is it wise to go on medical tourism to get it done to treat astigmatism? How different is it from surgical implants and is it really advantageous over surgical implants in the eye?

Is your astigmatism extreme? Thats the question number 1.

If it is not extreme, it can be treated through eyeglasses or contact lenses. It is not a 100% effective treatment but it is a sort of tradeoff between surgery and this easy treatment through lens.

In market, these days toric contact lenses are available which are suitable to treat astigmatism. These are soft contact lenses made from some special imported material.

If you have extreme or severe astigmatism, RPG contact lenses and eyeglasses can be effective for treatment. Surgey is the last option and your GP will advise you further on this.

My astigmatism is not severe but it is progressing. I was wanting to know because I had heard that this treatment is safer, quicker and better. As a matter of fact I want to get rid of my glasses and contact lenses - and this seems to the only option.

I suggest lasik surgery is an option that one can explore as it is fast catching up and getting more and more popular. The advantage of lasik eye surgery is that the entire procedure is very quick and painless. The risk rate is pretty much low compared to other eye surgery procedures.

Hi Zeenah,
This is the best treatment if you do not want to weat contacts or glasses. Depending on where you are, travelling just for this treatment may prove to be more expensive than at home. However, if you combine it with travel for other purposes, it might be worth looking into.

I too am looking for going in for lasik eye surgery. Before that I would like to know if there are any risks involved here. I know enough about the advantages - but as to the risk factor - neither my doctor not anybody else can give me a clear or exact picture. Is there anybody out there who have actually undergone this procedure or anybody out there who is professional enough to outline the risks involved - it would be of much help. Thank you.
