I have a minor corneal scar and I'm wondering if there are any non-surgical treatments like eye drops that can help improve it. Is there anything that can be done without going for surgery?

Some common eye drops for corneal abrasion include erythromycin ointment, ciprofloxacin drops, and moxifloxacin drops. You probably won't need pain relievers. But if you do, your doctor may suggest over-the-counter (OTC) oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

Question

I'm considering LASIK surgery for my eyes and wanted to know which clinic in Hyderabad would be the best option. I've heard mixed opinions some say Maxi Vision is better than LV Prasad for LASIK, but I'm not sure. Could you share your thoughts on which place has better results and care? Also, what should I look for when choosing a clinic for this procedure?

Question

I had cataract surgery 4 months ago and was prescribed systane ultra eye drops with polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol to use twice daily for a year. It's quite expensive are there any other options for managing dry eyes that might be more affordable? Sometimes my eyes still feel dry even with the drops.
