I have high myopia with 19 and 14 in both eyes and can't use a computer for more than an hour. I really want to become a computer engineer but I'm worried about my future since my doctor said surgery isn't an option for me. Can you guide me on how to manage my condition while pursuing this career?

Can a topography scan or slit lamp or pentacam detect if someone has had custom topography guided surface ablation like Lesik surgery I'm curious how doctors can tell if this procedure was done before

Yes, corneal topography (including Pentacam) and slit lamp examinations can often, but not always, detect if someone has had custom topography-guided surface ablation (like LASIK or PRK). The specific features that indicate past surgery and the degree to which it's detectable depend on the type of procedure, the extent of tissue removal, and the individual's healing response.
