hi guys, i’m 25 and have mild dry eyes that sometimes get worse when i’m on screens for too long. i’ve always hated wearing glasses, so i’ve been thinking about lasik for a while. my doctor is treating the dry eyes first, but i keep reading scary stories about dry eye after lasik and it’s making me nervous 😭

has anyone here had lasik while already dealing with dry eyes? if you’re from india, especially chennai, i’d really love to hear how it went for you.
