I have a power of 2.00 in both eyes with both cylindrical and spherical issues but I really don't like wearing glasses Is LASIK surgery a good option for someone with such low power or should I just stick to glasses

Yes, LASIK surgery can be a good option for your prescription, especially if you have stable vision and healthy corneas. It can correct both spherical and cylindrical errors effectively. However, a detailed pre-LASIK evaluation by an ophthalmologist is essential to ensure you're a suitable candidate.

Question

can squint eye from childhood be fixed without surgery ive heard about glasses or eye drops working is that true or do i need an operation

Shankar Netralaya in Chennai diagnosed my daughter with retinitis pigmentosa in her eyes. I read online that the only available surgery is bionic eye in the US, but I wanted to check if there are any other successful treatments in India maybe in allopathy, ayurveda, or homeopathy. If not, can you suggest a doctor in India who does the bionic eye procedure?

Question
