I'm planning to get Lasik eye surgery soon but I'm really confused about which type to choose. There are so many options like SMILE, iFS, and others, and I want to make sure I pick the safest and most suitable one for my eyes. My current prescription is RE 7.50 SPH 1.50 CYL 180 AXIS Vision 66 and LE 8.00 SPH 0.75 CYL 180 AXIS Vision 66. Can you help me understand which Lasik technology would work best for my high power and give me the best results? I'm a bit worried about safety and long-term effects.

My grandmother had cataract surgery about 2 months ago and I'm wondering what foods would help her recovery. Is it okay for her to eat chicken, meat, and eggs or should she avoid certain things?

Yes, she can eat chicken, eggs, and meat. Encourage high-protein, soft, vitamin-rich foods. Avoid overly spicy or fried food until full healing.

My eye vision is 66 in one eye and 660 in the other. Can you tell me what percentage of disability that would be? Also, my doctor recommended retina surgery could you explain more about why it's needed and what the procedure involves?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
