Is it okay to get LASIK surgery now if I'll be starting a software job soon and working 10-hour days in front of a computer? I'm 22 and wondering if 15-20 days of rest after the surgery is enough before I start my job

Question

my eyesight is minus 3.5 and I'm considering LASIK surgery - how much would the procedure cost for my prescription

I've had esotropia in my right eye for about six months now while my left eye is fine. My glasses prescription is 4.00 for the right eye and 3.75 for the left. Is surgery my only option or are there other ways to fix this squint without going under the knife

Question

I have keratoconus in both eyes and I'm really confused about my options. One doctor suggested surgery while another said contact lenses are better than surgery and recommended trying them first. I'm only 17 and not sure what to choose should I go for contacts or consider surgery right away? What would be the best option for someone my age?
