I'm considering getting laser eye surgery. Pre-covid I went and got a checkup/eye test with local optician, during which I asked would it be possible for me to have laser eye surgery.

I play sports, which is one of a few reasons why I want to get it, (contact lenses are a no-go as I tried them and have a fear of poking around my eyes). They stated I have astigmatism, eyeball is like a rugby ball instead of a football and that it would be very hard to correct.

Had a consultation with surgeon in Mater Private and they said that I would be able to undergo the lasik or lasek i forget which.

Is it possible to get a third opinion from someone. I find it confusing that one says no and the other says yes, I guess they both want my business?
