I've been diagnosed with a scar on my retina in my right eye and I'm really worried about it. Can this be fixed with surgery or are there other treatment options available? What does this mean for my vision long-term?

I have pretty bad myopia with -20 in my left eye and -23 in the right it's getting really tough to manage daily life. I'm considering ICL surgery but not sure which hospital in India would be the best for such high prescriptions. Any recommendations based on experience with extreme cases like mine?

For high myopia, LVPEI Hyderabad and Sankara Nethralaya Chennai are best for ICL surgery.

I've had 3.5 distance vision for the past three years and wear glasses regularly. Lately, I've been seeing a lot about eye surgeries to get rid of glasses and contacts. I went to a well-known hospital for a consultation, and after some tests, the doctor said I'm eligible for LASIK surgery. They mentioned I could live glasses and contact lens-free after the procedure. But I'm a bit worried is LASIK really safe? Once it's done, will I actually be able to see clearly without glasses or contacts?

please approach a surgeon in apollo hospital

My right eye power is 2.75 and left is 3. I wear contact lenses for about 10 hours daily and had laser surgery 10 years ago. For the last 3 years, my vision has been blurry. Can this be corrected? I prefer Ayurveda and take triphala powder with water every night. Are there any medicines, exercises, or dietary changes that could help me stop depending on glasses or contacts
