View allMy eye power is 8.5 with some cylindrical issue. I got tested for laser eye surgery but the doctor said laser isn't possible or safe for such high power and recommended ICL instead. I don't know much about ICL is laser really not an option for my power and how safe is ICL?
Yes, with an eye power of 8.5 and some cylindrical error, laser eye surgery (LASIK) might not be a safe or ideal option for you, especially if your corneal thickness is also a concern. Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery is often recommended as an alternative for such high prescriptions. ICL is generally considered a safe procedure with a high success rate, and it can correct both nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism

I'm 22 with high myopia at -20D and snail track degeneration. Is there any surgery that can help me get rid of glasses for good? I'm worried about my options since my prescription is so high and I have this eye condition.
Snail track degeneration is not contraindications for Refractive surgery. Anyway Lasik will not be suitable for you. You will hv to consider ICL. Please discuss with your Ophthal.

My dad has cataract in his right eye and the clinic recommended surgery. I'm confused about whether to choose laser cataract surgery or the traditional blade method what are the pros and cons of each? I want to make sure we pick the best option for him
Both laser-assisted and traditional cataract surgery methods are effective, but laser-assisted surgery often offers greater precision and potentially faster recovery. The best choice depends on individual needs and preferences, including eye health, underlying medical conditions, and desired outcomes
