My sister has been suffering from Steven Johnson syndrome for 10 years and her vision keeps getting worse. We've tried multiple eye surgeries but nothing has worked so far. She needs a keratoplasty transplant do you know which hospitals in India perform this procedure? I'm really worried and need some guidance on where to go.

LV Prasad, AIIMS Delhi, and Sankara Nethralaya are top hospitals in India for keratoplasty‚Äîconsult corneal specialists there.

I have myopia with 5 and 4 power in my right and left eye and recently started seeing flashes. I also have retinal degeneration. I've seen four doctors two recommended barrage laser as a precaution while the other two said to wait unless my retina detaches. I'm 28 and unsure if I should get the laser done now or wait. If I do go for it, should it be done in one session for both eyes or split into multiple sittings? What would you suggest?

Barrage laser can prevent retinal detachment in high-risk degeneration; it‚Äôs usually safe to do both eyes in one sitting‚Äîgo ahead if advised by retina specialist.
