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.

What happens if the sphincter muscle in the eye gets cut or damaged during cataract surgery and how do doctors fix this issue

If the sphincter muscle, responsible for pupillary constriction, is damaged during cataract surgery, the pupil may become dilated and may not react properly to light. Doctors can often fix this through surgical repair of the iris, which may include suturing the sphincter muscle and potentially repositioning or replacing the intraocular lens if it's also affected
