Best Lasik Eye Surgeons | Laser Eye Surgery For Astigmatism

I’m 15 and I currently wear Toric Contact lense, meaning I have an astigmatism. My contacts cost between $550 – $600 a year. Would it be best for me just to get LASIK?

Also I live in south Florida, any well know LASIK surgeons down here?

Im not in the US, Im in the UK, but my Lasik cost me £4000 including the interest for finance. My prescription was quite high and I had an astigmatism too but it was well worth it. It’s great to be free of glasses and contacts. Contact lenses are not worth it in the long term.
