It's been almost 3 months since my C3R and Intacs procedure for keratoconus but my eyes are still super sensitive to light. How long does this usually last before it gets better?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Light sensitivity (photophobia) after C3R and Intacs procedures for keratoconus is common and can last for several weeks to a few months. While the initial few days might be the worst, most people see a significant improvement within 1-3 months. Some may experience lingering sensitivity, especially in bright lights or when wearing sunglasses, but it generally stabilizes.

View allMy eyes squint whenever I take off my high-power glasses, and I can't wear them outside. Is there any way to treat squint eyes without surgery? Would contact lenses help with this issue?
Yes, there are non-surgical treatment options for squint eyes, and contact lenses could be one of them, especially if your squint is related to a refractive error. Vision therapy, eye patching, and prism glasses are other non-surgical approaches. If your squint is caused by a refractive error (like nearsightedness or farsightedness), wearing the correct prescription glasses or contact lenses can help align your eyes and reduce squinting.

I'm 17 with a -20 diopter prescription and really want to ditch glasses for good. Is LASIK an option for me or are there other permanent vision correction surgeries that would work better for my high prescription? I'm worried my eyes might be too bad for regular laser surgery
You'll need to wait for 2-3 more years, till your glass power stabilizes. After that you can visit your local ophthalmologist who will do a couple of tests and then advise what kind of refractive surgery is apt for you. Till then you can use glasses or contact lenses , as per your convenience.
