I have a power of 2.00 in both eyes with both cylindrical and spherical issues but I really don't like wearing glasses Is LASIK surgery a good option for someone with such low power or should I just stick to glasses

Yes, LASIK surgery can be a good option for your prescription, especially if you have stable vision and healthy corneas. It can correct both spherical and cylindrical errors effectively. However, a detailed pre-LASIK evaluation by an ophthalmologist is essential to ensure you're a suitable candidate.

I'm a 27-year-old guy with good vision but I have a lazy eye. Sometimes my left eye drifts outward and other times it's my right eye. Is there a permanent surgery to fix this?

0.75 CYL may be managed with exercises and screen hygiene, but no proven natural cure—glasses or contact lenses are most effective.

I've had refractive surgery for my highly myopic eye, but I can't stop worrying about the long-term risks. Even though everything seems fine now, I keep fearing I might go blind someday. How do I deal with this constant anxiety about my eye condition?

It's natural to feel anxious about potential long-term risks after refractive surgery, even if your vision is currently good. While refractive surgery like LASIK and PRK can significantly improve vision, there are potential long-term risks to be aware of. Understanding these risks and discussing them with your doctor can help ease your worries.
