I just had my Lasik preliminary testing done with Dr Anagha Heroor in Dombivli East and the reports look good. The doctor said I'm a suitable candidate for Lasik but I'm a bit unsure should I go ahead with the surgery now or wait a few years since I'll be pursuing MBA and other courses soon? I don't have any major health issues like diabetes or asthma and I'm not on any regular meds. Would love to hear other ophthalmologists' opinions based on my test reports

I have to undergo a medical exam for Indian Railways where LASIK or similar vision correction surgeries aren't allowed, but my only shot at being medically fit is to get LASIK or SMILE since I wear glasses. If I opt for SMILE, which has a tiny incision and no flap, will they still be able to detect it during the exam?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

Can PRK surgery be detected during a railway medical exam since it's not allowed for the job I know LASIK is also banned but I'm more worried about PRK showing up on their eye tests

PRK can be detected during a railway medical exam, although it's not as easily detected as LASIK. While LASIK involves creating a flap that can be seen, PRK doesn't, making it more difficult to detect with standard slit lamp examinations. However, advanced tests like corneal topography can detect PRK, and some residual scarring from PRK can also be visible on slit lamp examination.
