i have minus 9 and i'm considering smile surgery will it fully correct my vision or is there usually some undercorrection? how does the smile procedure work exactly?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
SMILE surgery can correct high myopia like -9, but mild undercorrection is possible. It reshapes the cornea using a femtosecond laser through a keyhole incision, preserving more corneal structure than LASIK.

View allmy right eye is already damaged from diabetes and now the doctor says i need cataract surgery in my left eye but my hba1c is 10.9 though fasting sugar stays under 130 is it safe to proceed with the surgery
HbA1c above 10.5 increases risk; bring sugar down before surgery to avoid complications—fasting alone is not enough.

My vision is 66 in both eyes with glasses and I have a high power of 7D. Is Lasik surgery an option for me to get rid of glasses and have normal vision?
With power of -7D, LASIK is possible if corneal thickness allows; consult for topography—options like SMILE or ICL may be better in high myopia.

I have a squint eye and heard it might not be fully correctable as an adult. What kind of improvement can I expect from cosmetic squint surgery, and what are the costs and risks involved? One of my eyes has also become lazy.
Squint surgery in adults can significantly improve eye alignment, reduce or eliminate double vision, and boost self-confidence. While it can't always fully correct the issue, it often provides substantial improvements in function and appearance. Lazy eye can also be treated, and surgical correction of the squint may enhance the lazy eye's ability to function. The cost of surgery varies, but it's generally considered a safe procedure
