I have a squint eye and I'm considering surgery but I'm worried it might cause vision loss is that a common risk or are there safer options to fix this
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Vision loss is not a common risk with squint surgery, but it's important to be aware of potential risks, including temporary vision changes, double vision, and in rare cases, a permanent decrease in vision. There are safer, non-surgical options like vision therapy, glasses, and prism lenses that can address squint without the risks of surgery

Why do so many doctors and nurses wear glasses instead of getting laser eye surgery even when their eyes are fit for it? The doctor I consulted said it's just cosmetic and advised against surgery, but I'm curious why medical professionals seem to prefer specs over LASIK if it's safe and effective
While LASIK surgery is a safe and effective way to correct vision, many doctors and nurses choose to wear glasses due to a variety of factors, including personal preference, potential complications, and even perceived professional image. A doctor's advice against surgery may be based on individual patient factors and a conservative approach to treatment.

I had relex smile surgery about 1.5 years ago and now I'm dealing with irregular astigmatism in my left eye causing ghosting vision. My right eye isn't fully 66 vision either, plus I have starbursts and glare both day and night. Could these issues affect my chances of appearing for SSC or army entrance exams
Yes, irregular astigmatism, especially with ghosting vision and glare, could negatively affect your chances of being accepted into the SSC or Army. While ReLEx SMILE surgery is generally safe and effective, post-operative issues like irregular astigmatism and visual distortions can impact your eligibility. Army and SSC entrance exams often have strict vision standards to ensure candidates can perform their duties effectively.
