I need to get surgery to correct my vision but my cornea is thin and my power is 7.00 so LASIK isn't an option. My doctor recommended SMILE but I've read about some drawbacks. I also came across Contoura Vision which seems better. With a thin cornea, which one should I go for? I don't want ICL.

With thin cornea, SMILE is safer than LASIK but less accurate for high power—Contoura needs more thickness; ICL is most precise but invasive.

View allI've been diagnosed with a retina issue and my doctor recommended barrage laser surgery, but I'm really nervous about it they didn't make me feel confident about the procedure. Can you suggest a skilled and patient-friendly retina surgeon who specializes in barrage laser? I need to get this done soon but want to make sure I'm in good hands.
Barrage laser is safe and done to prevent retinal detachment; seek a retina specialist known for patient care—your doctor can refer a trusted one.

Had PRK surgery 5 months ago and my right eye is fine but my left eye stays blurry unless I use lubricant drops - vision gets clear for a bit then goes back to being fuzzy. My left eye is at 69 before drops. Why does it keep doing this and is it normal after PRK?
It's normal to experience some degree of blurred vision after PRK surgery, especially if the vision is fluctuating and improving with lubricant drops. However, five months post-surgery, it's important to investigate why this persists and discuss it with your eye doctor. While individual healing rates can vary, persistent blurriness and dependence on drops warrant further evaluation.
