I live in a city where no doctors offer Contoura vision surgery, so I'd have to fly elsewhere to get it done. But I'm not sure if I'm even a good candidate for it I don't want to travel all that way just to find out I can't get the procedure. Here are my details: RE sph -1.75 cyl -1.60 axis 15 VA 20/20 LE sph -1.50 cyl -1.25 axis 7 VA 20/20 IPD 69 My eye pressure is healthy, I have very mild dry eyes (not severe), and I've been diagnosed with astigmatism and myopia. Could I possibly be a candidate for Contoura vision?

Get a pre-op screening first; if eligible, only then travel—most centers will assess your eye shape and thickness.

View allMy eye power is 2.25 in both eyes and I really want to stop wearing spectacles. Is there any treatment or surgery that can help me with this? Could you suggest what options I have?
With a prescription of 2.25 in both eyes, you are a good candidate for vision correction options like LASIK or PRK surgery, which can reduce or eliminate the need for glasses. Alternatively, you could consider corrective contact lenses or newer procedures like SMILE. It’s important to have a thorough eye exam to determine the best and safest option for you.

My eyes sometimes get squinty because of intermittent exotropia sometimes they're fine, other times they drift. Is surgery an option to fix this? I'm based in Chennai, so I'd like to know if there are good treatment options here.
Yes, surgery is a common and often effective treatment option for intermittent exotropia, but it's not the only one. Other options include glasses, eye patches, vision therapy, and even Botox injections. The best course of treatment depends on the individual's situation, including the severity and frequency of the eye deviation, as well as any other symptoms like headaches or double vision.
