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.

View allIt's been 10 months since my PRK surgery but I still need to use lubricant drops. Is it okay to stop using them now or should I keep going for a few more months? How long do people usually need these drops after PRK?
After PRK surgery, it’s common to continue using lubricating drops for several months until the eye fully stabilizes. Most people stop using them after 6 months, but check with your doctor for personalized advice.

How much does LASIK eye surgery usually cost and who is eligible for it I've heard there are risks but not sure what they are exactly also why might someone decide against getting the procedure done
LASIK eye surgery can cost anywhere from ‚Çπ20,000 to ‚Çπ1,50,000 for both eyes in India, depending on the type of procedure and location. Eligibility typically involves having stable vision, a prescription within certain ranges, and generally healthy eyes without certain conditions like glaucoma or keratoconus. Risks include dry eyes, glare, halos, and potential for under or over correction. Some people may choose not to get LASIK due to fear of complications, the cost, or if they don't qualify due to existing eye conditions.
