Lasik surgery eligibility criteria is mainly corneal topography ( corneal scans) and Dry eye is also taken into consideration.
Next Steps
Kindly get the baseline investigations for Lasik done. Your eligibility will be entirely dependent on that. As such allergy by itself is not an absolute contraindications, but the severity matters

Hi there
This can be answered better after a comprehensive ophthalmic examination.
If the eyes don't have any allergic signs and any other signs of possible side-effects due to medications prior used for treating allergy on a long term basis we can plan a refractive correction for you. Otherwise we may prioritise treating the present condition before planning any procedure. Your suitability for the laser procedure can be decided only after a few scans of your cornea.
Next Steps
Consult a opthalmic setup with a refractive surgeon.

Allergic asthma doesnt affect the eye directly till you have eye allergies too. But for LASIk you need to do many tests before deciding if you are eligible. So please see an ophthalmologist to confirm if you are eligible for the proceduee
