Question
I have both cylindrical and spherical power in both my eyes. Can I get laser surgery done to correct my power? Some of my friends say that since I have both cylindrical and spherical it’s not possible to completely correct the power. Kindly give suggestion whether I can get laser surgery one?

A combination of a sphere and a cylinder is a common occurrence. This is no contraindication for lasik surgery. You would require a detailed examination to assess your suitability for the procedure and if found suitable, you can undergo the procedure.
