Is it okay to switch from eye drops to ointment gel twice a day for dry eyes after LASIK surgery? The drops don't seem to help much and it's been 8 months since my procedure

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.

For high prescription (7‚Äì8D with astigmatism),Flap LASIK techniques like femto+wavefront or SMILE are preferable‚Äîdiscuss options with surgeon for safety and precision.

my right eye is already damaged from diabetes and now the doctor says i need cataract surgery in my left eye but my hba1c is 10.9 though fasting sugar stays under 130 is it safe to proceed with the surgery

HbA1c above 10.5 increases risk; bring sugar down before surgery to avoid complications‚Äîfasting alone is not enough.
