Answer
Dear Akshay,
Thanks for asking such elaborate and interesting question

1] yes you can very well undergo any refractory procedure number is NOT the criteria your parameters should be sufficient enough
2] the type of surgery depends on your corneal thickness or pachymetry measurements
3] now with latest technology it is absolutely safe
4] yes in INDIA we are on par with any developed country we have same technology as other countries infact that is the reason why we get so many patients coming here to get operated only because SAME technology is available at much cheaper cost
5] cost depends on so many factor like technology you want and to be used on you and type of procedure and power

If you any further questions please revert back to me
