If the power of the lenses is not incresing,and constant,you can undergo lasik after 22,if you are fit for the lasik.The charges depend upon the type of lasik surgery, type of institution,and city,and surgeon. Pl consult Ophthalmologist for further evaluation and treatment.

View allMy 1-year-old baby girl was born with an underdeveloped retina in her left eye, and AIIMS doctors observed her vision is only 1 in that eye. Is there any hope for her retina and vision to develop? Are there treatments like surgery, home remedies, Ayurveda, or even a transplant that could help her? I'm really worried and looking for any possible solutions.
While it's understandable to be worried about your baby's vision, it's crucial to understand that an underdeveloped retina in an infant can have different outcomes, and treatment options are available. Based on the information you've provided, here's a breakdown: Understanding the Situation: Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP): Your baby's condition, with an underdeveloped retina and vision observed as 1/10, strongly suggests Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). This is a condition where blood vessels in the retina don't fully develop, especially in premature babies. Vision Loss: A vision rating of 1/10 indicates significant vision loss in the affected eye, but doesn't mean it's irreversible. AIIMS Recommendation: As a top medical institution, AIIMS has likely assessed the severity of your baby's ROP and recommended a course of treatment. Treatment Options: Laser Therapy: This is a common treatment for ROP, where a laser is used to destroy abnormal blood vessels and prevent further damage. Anti-VEGF Therapy: Injections of anti-VEGF drugs into the eye can also be used to slow down the growth of abnormal blood vessels. Scleral Buckle Surgery: This procedure involves placing a band around the eye to support the retina if it's detached. Vitrectomy: This surgery involves removing scar tissue and fluids from the eye to help restore retinal attachment. Early Detection and Treatment: The key to managing ROP is early detection and treatment to prevent further vision loss.

I have a minor corneal scar and I'm wondering if there are any non-surgical treatments like eye drops that can help improve it. Is there anything that can be done without going for surgery?
Some common eye drops for corneal abrasion include erythromycin ointment, ciprofloxacin drops, and moxifloxacin drops. You probably won't need pain relievers. But if you do, your doctor may suggest over-the-counter (OTC) oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
