I'm a 22-year-old female with retinal thinning in my right eye that's under control, but my doctor recommended surgery if I want to keep running and exercising. I run fast daily and do push-ups and crunches, plus I have a violent sneezing problem. If I avoid weights and gymnastics, am I still at risk of detachment without surgery?

Question

In my recent eye exam, I noticed that my vision power has decreased from 4.00 to 3.5 in both eyes, and I've been told there's a cylindrical power of 1 in both eyes now. I'm wondering if it's a good or bad thing that my vision power went down like this without any treatment or surgery. Also, if I start wearing glasses with the prescribed cylindrical power, is there a chance that the cylindrical issue will improve over time?

Question

My vision is 66 in both eyes with glasses and I have a high power of 7D. Is Lasik surgery an option for me to get rid of glasses and have normal vision?

I had SMILE surgery done 15 days ago and my job requires me to stare at screens all day. Will using the computer or watching TV for long hours mess with my healing or the final results of the surgery?
