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 3-year-old son might have crossed eyes I noticed it in some of his photos recently. We're really worried and want to figure out the best steps to take. Should we go straight to an eye hospital or find a pediatric eye specialist first? What's the best way to confirm the issue and get honest treatment options, preferably without surgery?
ophthal opinion is advised to the pt.

My mother has cataracts in both eyes and the doctor recommended surgery for her right eye soon before it gets worse. Can you help me understand how to choose between monofocal and multifocal IOLs? What are the costs for each type in India, and how long is the recovery after surgery? Also, what precautions should she take post-surgery? I'd like to know all the options available for cataract surgery and their costs.
For cataract surgery, a monofocal Intraocular Lens (IOL) provides clear vision at a single distance (usually far vision), while a multifocal IOL offers vision at multiple distances (near, intermediate, and far). Multifocal IOLs generally cost more but may reduce the need for glasses after surgery. Cataract surgery costs in India vary significantly, typically ranging from INR 25,000 to INR 1,20,000, depending on the IOL type and hospital
