I have high myopia with -19 and -14 in both eyes and also deal with computer vision syndrome. My doctor said surgery is too risky for me. I can't use the computer for more than an hour without discomfort, even with lubricant eye drops. Will continuing to use screens cause more damage to my eyes? Is it still possible for me to pursue computer engineering in the future given my condition?

View allmy right eye has advanced stage glaucoma and im really worried - is there any treatment without surgery or if surgery is the only option how much would it cost
For advanced glaucoma, non-surgical options include prescription eye drops, oral medications, and laser treatments to lower eye pressure. If these are not effective or if vision loss progresses despite them, surgery might be necessary. Glaucoma surgery can't cure or reverse vision loss, but it can help protect vision and prevent further damage

For high myopia, LVPEI Hyderabad and Sankara Nethralaya Chennai are best for ICL surgery.

I have intermittent exotropia in both eyes where one eye turns out every 1-2 minutes, sometimes left and sometimes right. A squint specialist recommended surgery as the only option, suggesting a 2-muscle procedure on just one eye. He said the brain would adjust and prevent the other eye from turning out afterward. Is this approach correct? He's a pediatric ophthalmologist with 16 years of experience, but I'm unsure about only operating on one eye when both are affected. Does this sound like the right plan?
Yes he is right. As our eyes should work simultaneously. So if we do surgery on one eye, the effect will be total for both eyes. It's not like that if your right eye is going out means we have to operate that eye only . On examination, whatever the non dominant eye will be operated. And some exercises will be needed after surgery to maintain
