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 a bit worried because I had LASIK on both eyes about 15 years ago, and I don't have any records of it anymore. Neither does the surgeon's office. If I ever need cataract surgery, will the lack of these records be a problem? Is there any technology available that can help in determining the right intraocular lens for me?

Yes,no need of the previous records, surgery would be planned based on the current status of your eye

I've suddenly noticed that the sclera of my left eye is swollen. I don't wear glasses or contact lenses, and I haven't been using any eye drops. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this?

That could be Chalazion, visit Ophthalmologist for evaluation and appropriate management, do not try to squeeze it, apply warm compress.
