Question

My grandma is 60 and has been blind for about a year now. The doctors back home say her eyes are completely damaged naturally, but she wants to explore an eye transplant to regain her vision. Can you suggest the best hospitals in India or Bangalore for this procedure? Also, what would the approximate cost be so we can plan accordingly before bringing her to Bangalore?

Question

Had PRK surgery 5 months ago and my right eye is fine but my left eye stays blurry unless I use lubricant drops - vision gets clear for a bit then goes back to being fuzzy. My left eye is at 69 before drops. Why does it keep doing this and is it normal after PRK?
