I'm a 38-year-old man with squint in my left eye due to Duane retraction syndrome. Is it possible to correct this with surgery at my age or is it too late for treatment?

Had PRK surgery a year ago but still have some dryness in my eyes is it okay to use a warm compress for relief?

Yes, using a warm compress for relief of dry eyes after PRK surgery is generally considered safe and can be helpful. It can help to stimulate the meibomian glands, which produce the oily substance that keeps tears from evaporating too quickly

my right eye vision is 69 with an axis of 1.85 and cycle at 180 - i'm considering laser surgery to improve my eyesight but i'm not sure if this is the right age to do it without risks

It's understandable to be concerned about risks when considering laser eye surgery. While there's no strict age limit, most surgeons prefer candidates between 20 and 40, as vision tends to stabilize during this period. However, individual circumstances, including eye health and medical history, play a significant role. Your vision correction number (69) and axis (1.85) are specific, and a qualified eye surgeon can assess if you're a suitable candidate, considering your overall eye health and the potential risks and benefits of the procedure.
