Can a minor corneal scar heal on its own without surgery and how long would it take to recover if I use prescribed eye drops
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, a minor corneal scar can often heal on its own without surgery, especially with the help of prescribed eye drops. Most minor corneal abrasions heal within a few days. If you're using prescribed eye drops, healing may be faster, with many people feeling better within 24-48 hours

View allMy friend's left eye power is 14 and right eye is 12 is laser surgery safe for such high numbers? He's worried about risks since his prescription seems pretty strong
Laser eye surgery can be safe for high prescriptions, but it's not always the best option and depends on individual factors. While LASIK is generally safe, very high prescriptions like 14 and 12 diopters may be close to or beyond the typical limits of correction for LASIK. In such cases, other options like ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) or other refractive surgeries might be more suitable. It's crucial for your friend to consult with an experienced refractive surgeon to determine the best course of action for their specific case

my right eye vision is 6/18 can it improve to normal naturally without glasses or surgery
A 6/18 vision (also known as 20/60) is considered significantly impaired, and it's unlikely to improve to normal (6/6 or 20/20) vision naturally without glasses or surgery. While certain practices can improve vision-related skills and reduce strain, they cannot alter the underlying refractive error causing the blurry vision.
