I've been diagnosed with thyroid eye disease and my endocrinologist recommended orbital decompression surgery. Can you explain how the procedure works and what the cost might be? Also, could you suggest the best specialists for this in Meerut and Delhi?

Orbital decompression surgery for thyroid eye disease helps relieve pressure and improve appearance. The cost varies widely based on the hospital. You may consider specialists at AIIMS (Delhi) or Max Hospital (Meerut).

Question

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?

I have keratoconus in my eyes and really want to avoid surgery. I've attached my Oculus Pentacam report can you help me understand how severe my condition is right now? What stage is my keratoconus at and how serious is it? Also, could you explain my corneal thickness readings and what treatment options would work best for this level without needing surgery?

Question

I had LASIK done a year ago to stop wearing glasses but I lost the documents. The clinic refused to give me a copy are those records really needed for future cataract surgery? Can I still get cataract surgery later if I don't have the LASIK records?
