Stem cell therapy for glaucoma treatment is available in India and abroad, with Delhi/NCR offering options like Stem Cell Care India. While research is ongoing, stem cells are being explored for their potential to protect the optic nerve and potentially delay vision loss. India is also known as a medical tourism destination for stem cell therapy.

Question

How long does it take to recover from corneal opacity and can it be treated with just eye drops or is surgery usually needed

I have a prescription of -5 in my left eye and -4.5 in my right eye with 2.5 astigmatism in both eyes. Would I be a good candidate for LASIK? I'm really concerned about potential side effects like bad night vision, halos, and chronic dry eye after the surgery how likely are these to happen? What are the success rates for someone with my prescription? Could LASIK actually get me to a point where I don't need glasses anymore?
