I'm 28 and I've got a prescription of -5 in both eyes. I'm thinking about getting LASIK surgery. Do you think that's a good option for me? Also, are there any reputable hospitals in or near Kolkata that you'd recommend for this procedure?

Can ayurveda or homeopathy actually heal retina holes, and how long would that kind of treatment usually take? Or is laser treatment the only option that really works for this? I'm just worried and trying to understand the best course of action.

While Ayurveda and Homeopathy may offer supportive treatments to promote overall eye health, there is limited scientific evidence to suggest that they can effectively cure retinal holes; conventional medical treatment, such as laser photocoagulation or vitreoretinal surgery, is generally considered the most effective way to treat retinal holes and prevent vision loss, with treatment outcomes and duration varying depending on the size, location, and severity of the retinal hole.

I'm really worried because my eyes have been red for the past couple of days. I've tried putting coconut oil around them and washing them with cold water. It helped a bit, but the redness still isn't gone. I'm thinking about using Refresh Tears eye drops. Do you think that's a good idea, and if so, how many drops should I use and for how long?

Yes you can use them like 2 drops in each eye for 4 times in a day, if it's becoming worse visit Ophthalmologist for evaluation and appropriate management
