I have pretty bad myopia with -20 in my left eye and -23 in the right it's getting really tough to manage daily life. I'm considering ICL surgery but not sure which hospital in India would be the best for such high prescriptions. Any recommendations based on experience with extreme cases like mine?

For high myopia, LVPEI Hyderabad and Sankara Nethralaya Chennai are best for ICL surgery.

my wife recently had lasik surgery and her vision improved from negative to positive could her eyesight go back to negative again in the future or are there any long-term risks we should know about

Regression after LASIK is rare but possible with age or eye strain; annual checkups are advised to detect early changes and prevent complications.

I have a prescription of -5 in my left eye and -4.5 in my right eye with 2.5 astigmatism in both eyes. Would I be a good candidate for LASIK? I'm really concerned about potential side effects like bad night vision, halos, and chronic dry eye after the surgery how likely are these to happen? What are the success rates for someone with my prescription? Could LASIK actually get me to a point where I don't need glasses anymore?

Patient is advised for an ophthalmologist opinion.

I need to get surgery to correct my vision but my cornea is thin and my power is 7.00 so LASIK isn't an option. My doctor recommended SMILE but I've read about some drawbacks. I also came across Contoura Vision which seems better. With a thin cornea, which one should I go for? I don't want ICL.

With thin cornea, SMILE is safer than LASIK but less accurate for high power‚ÄîContoura needs more thickness; ICL is most precise but invasive.
