While your eye prescription suggests a high amount of both cylindrical and spherical power, and your cornea thickness is within the acceptable range for LASIK, your right eye's difficulty with reading even with glasses could indicate other factors that might make you ineligible for LASIK. Consulting with an ophthalmologist is crucial to determine your eligibility

View allMy 1-year-old baby girl was born with an underdeveloped retina in her left eye, and AIIMS doctors observed her vision is only 1 in that eye. Is there any hope for her retina and vision to develop? Are there treatments like surgery, home remedies, Ayurveda, or even a transplant that could help her? I'm really worried and looking for any possible solutions.
While it's understandable to be worried about your baby's vision, it's crucial to understand that an underdeveloped retina in an infant can have different outcomes, and treatment options are available. Based on the information you've provided, here's a breakdown: Understanding the Situation: Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP): Your baby's condition, with an underdeveloped retina and vision observed as 1/10, strongly suggests Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). This is a condition where blood vessels in the retina don't fully develop, especially in premature babies. Vision Loss: A vision rating of 1/10 indicates significant vision loss in the affected eye, but doesn't mean it's irreversible. AIIMS Recommendation: As a top medical institution, AIIMS has likely assessed the severity of your baby's ROP and recommended a course of treatment. Treatment Options: Laser Therapy: This is a common treatment for ROP, where a laser is used to destroy abnormal blood vessels and prevent further damage. Anti-VEGF Therapy: Injections of anti-VEGF drugs into the eye can also be used to slow down the growth of abnormal blood vessels. Scleral Buckle Surgery: This procedure involves placing a band around the eye to support the retina if it's detached. Vitrectomy: This surgery involves removing scar tissue and fluids from the eye to help restore retinal attachment. Early Detection and Treatment: The key to managing ROP is early detection and treatment to prevent further vision loss.

I've consulted a few doctors but got mixed opinions two said no surgery and to stick with glasses, one suggested epi lasik or Lasek, and two recommended ICL.
