Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
LASIK costs around ₹25,000–₹70,000 per eye depending on the center and technology. It’s safe for most with stable vision and healthy corneas; rare side effects include dryness or glare.

View allI've been wearing specs for almost 8 years with a power of 2.75 in my left eye and 3.75 in my right. Recently, a doctor at Vasan Eye Care mentioned my eyes have pressure and recommended surgery, but I'm not sure I want to go through with it. I also have cylindrical power is LASIK a good option or should I stick with glasses? What are the treatments available for eye pressure?
Given your concerns about eye pressure and potential surgery, and your existing prescription (2.75 in the left eye and 3.75 in the right), here's a breakdown of options and considerations: LASIK and Eye Pressure: LASIK might not be the best option if you have elevated eye pressure or are at risk for glaucoma. LASIK involves creating a corneal flap, which can increase eye pressure. If glaucoma or high intraocular pressure is a concern, other refractive surgeries like LASEK, PRK, or P-IOL might be more suitable. These procedures don't involve creating a corneal flap, which can reduce the risk of pressure spikes. It's crucial to have your eye pressure thoroughly assessed and managed before considering any refractive surgery. If your eye pressure is elevated, it needs to be stabilized before LASIK can be considered

I've had esotropia squint eye since childhood and recently found out surgery might be an option. Is squint surgery really the best treatment with no risks or are there other alternatives I could consider? I'm not happy with how it looks and want to explore solutions.
Squint surgery (strabismus surgery) is a common and often effective treatment for esotropia, but it's not a perfect solution with no risks. While surgery can correct eye alignment and improve binocular vision, there are other non-surgical options to consider, and potential risks associated with surgery should be discussed with your doctor.
