Hello
It seems from the history that you are having myopia of -6.25 dioptres and you want to undergo laser surgery, LASIK.
Since you are aged more than 21 years you are fit to undergo LASIK surgery.
LASIK surgery is of proven safety and efficacy hence you can undergo it without any hesitance.
The cost for LASIK in India is Rs. 35,000-45,000 in India.
Thank you
