Another popular option is to undergo FEMTO LASIK surgery.
Most people may think that anyone can undergo laser eye surgery. On the contrary, some people may have characteristics that are not suitable for LASIK. Ophthalmologists will have to conduct an examination to ensure that the patient meets the basic criteria for undergoing LASIK surgery.
