I have a power of -6 for both eyes and I'm considering LASIK surgery. Would it be effective for my high prescription? How much pain should I expect during and after the procedure? What are the common side effects I should know about? Can you recommend some good hospitals in Bangalore for LASIK treatment?

I have high myopia with -19 and -14 in both eyes and also deal with computer vision syndrome. My doctor said surgery is too risky for me. I can't use the computer for more than an hour without discomfort, even with lubricant eye drops. Will continuing to use screens cause more damage to my eyes? Is it still possible for me to pursue computer engineering in the future given my condition?

You can use computer without fear Computer vision syndrome causes dryness but it cant decrease the vision

Is a sensitive eye something that can be treated with medication or would it require surgery? I've been dealing with discomfort and wondering what the best treatment options are

With sensitive, irritated eyes, you want to be gentle and avoid touching them as much as possible‚Äîwhich isn't easy when they're itchy or painful. Cold compresses are great for reducing swelling and sensitivity, and Clear Eyes eye drops for itchy eyes, dry eyes or sensitive eyes can help bring relief
