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.

I have a power of 6.5 with a slight squint in my right eye. I really want to get rid of my glasses and also fix the squint. Can I go for LASIK first and then get squint surgery later, or should I do it the other way around? What's the best approach for this?
It's generally recommended to address the squint (strabismus) before considering LASIK surgery, especially with a high refractive error like yours. LASIK can sometimes affect eye muscle balance, potentially making the squint worse. A consultation with a strabismus specialist and your ophthalmologist is crucial to determine the best course of action.

I had a deep corneal abrasion and the doctor said there's a slight scratch on the corneal stroma near the pupil area. My vision is 69 now and improves to 66 with a pinhole in the left eye. I've been using fluorometholone drops and lubricant gel for 3 months. I also had PRK surgery 4 months ago, but my right eye is fine. How long will it take for this to heal?
ophthal opinion is advised.
