Question 1

I've been dealing with high myopia with SPH powers of 7.50 and 7.25, and more recently, I was told I have a CYL of 1.50. While my SPH has been pretty stable, the CYL is new, and I'm not sure if it's settled down yet. I'm thinking about getting surgery to fix my vision but I'm unsure about which option is right for me. Would Lasik work, or should I be considering ICL or Contoura instead?

Accepted Answer

That completely depends on your corneal thickenss and history,visit Ophtholmologist for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 2

I've recently hit the one-month mark since my PTK C3R surgery on my left eye. Before the surgery, I mostly wore contact lenses instead of glasses. Now I'm wondering, is there a specific type or brand of contact lenses I should be using post-C3R surgery?

Accepted Answer

Ophtholmologist

Question 3

I'm struggling with my eyesight since my eye number is minus 5 and 5.5, and everything's blurry without my glasses. I'm really considering surgery because I don't want to wear specs anymore. Can you let me know how much the total fees are for such an eye operation?

I'm noticing some veins showing up around my temporal and eye area, and I'm getting these black flashes in my eyes sometimes. Plus, there's this slight increase in head pressure I've been feeling. Is this something I should be worried about?
