I had squint surgery in both eyes a year ago but still notice some residual squint sometimes I also have astigmatism and have worn glasses since childhood - my right eye has CYL 1 axis 10 and left eye CYL 2 axis 160 Can LASIK fix my astigmatism completely and would it help correct the remaining squint issues too I'm 26 and really want to properly address both problems

LASIK surgery can effectively address astigmatism, including your specific CYL 1 axis 10 and CYL 2 axis 160 values. However, LASIK does not correct squint, which is a misalignment of the eyes. Addressing residual squint after surgery will likely require further evaluation and potentially additional surgical adjustments.

I'm currently using cylindrical glasses with a power of 2.75 in my left eye and 1.25 in the right. Is there any surgery that can fix this issue permanently so I don't need glasses anymore?

Yes, there are surgical options like LASIK or SMILE that can correct cylindrical power (astigmatism) and reduce or eliminate the need for glasses. A detailed corneal mapping and eye evaluation by an ophthalmologist is necessary to determine if you're a suitable candidate.

I've been researching Femto LASIK and SMILE LASIK for my vision correction but I'm a bit confused about the differences between them. Which one is safer and has fewer complications? I'm worried about recovery time and long-term effects can you explain which procedure might be better for someone with moderate myopia?

SMILE LASIK is generally considered more minimally invasive and potentially safer than Femto LASIK, with reduced risk of flap-related complications and dry eye. While both have similar recovery times, SMILE may offer an advantage for individuals prone to dry eyes. For moderate myopia, SMILE may be a better option due to its minimal invasiveness and lower risk of complications
