I have myopia with 5 and 4 power in my right and left eye and recently started seeing flashes. I also have retinal degeneration. I've seen four doctors two recommended barrage laser as a precaution while the other two said to wait unless my retina detaches. I'm 28 and unsure if I should get the laser done now or wait. If I do go for it, should it be done in one session for both eyes or split into multiple sittings? What would you suggest?

Barrage laser can prevent retinal detachment in high-risk degeneration; it’s usually safe to do both eyes in one sitting—go ahead if advised by retina specialist.

How can I gently wean my almost 2-year-old off breastfeeding since I need to have refractive surgery soon She's down to just a few feeds but refuses to stop completely and I'm not sure how to make the transition easier for her
Hi. You need only 2days to wean off. Be little bold. Any further information you need connect with direct consult.

I have 660 vision in my left eye with glasses and 69 vision in my right eye with glasses. My left eye has a power of 7D and my right eye is 2.75D. I'm 16 years old and really worried can this be fixed with surgery or will I have to live with this forever? Also, will my right eye keep getting worse over time? Am I at risk of going blind in both eyes as I get older?
Your vision can be improved with surgery such as LASIK or ICL, especially if progression stops. Follow-up is essential to monitor long-term stability.
