  • I am far sighted and I am astigmatic - 3.5: -3. (if it's still like that) I'm sure that the glasses are deteriorating my vision and that's why i've decided to take care of my vision for the rest of my life. I'm 25. I would like to know the prices of the surgery if possible and please advice me any well acclaimed [certified] clinic in London if you know. I appreciate your time and advice.

    Many thanks,

  • very informative thanks a lot
