View allI've been looking into LASIK surgery options lately and stumbled across keratoconus. I'm 22 and have had pretty stable glasses prescription for the last 3 years with no major vision issues, but my astigmatism is pretty high (sph 6, cyl 2.75). Could this mean I might have keratoconus or am I just overthinking it? Is there a way to rule this out for sure?
ophthal opinion is advised to the patient.

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

I'm getting cataract surgery on Monday but I'm really confused about choosing between Indian lenses and imported lenses. Are Indian lenses just as good or should I go for imported ones? I need some advice to make the right decision
Both Indian and imported lenses can offer excellent outcomes if chosen correctly. Indian lenses like *Aurolab* or *Appasamy* have improved significantly and are cost-effective, while imported ones like *Alcon* or *Zeiss* may offer advanced features like better contrast sensitivity or multifocality. Your choice should depend on your visual needs, lifestyle, and budget—discuss these with your surgeon for the best fit.
