Which procedure is better between LASIK and PRK when it comes to quality of vision after surgery and post-operative pain? I've heard there can be other issues after surgery too. Also, my corneal thickness is 495 um with a power of 3.50 in both eyes, and all my topography tests came back normal. Would LASIK or PRK be the better option for me to get rid of my glasses?
With normal topography and 495 μm corneal thickness, PRK is safer than LASIK and has less risk of complications; PRK has slightly more pain initially but similar long-term vision quality.

My father needs cataract surgery but he also has diabetes. I'm a bit worried and wanted to ask what sugar level is considered safe for the surgery? Also, if the cataract is fully matured, is laser surgery better or should we go for manual? And could you suggest the best doctor in Pune for diabetic patients needing cataract surgery someone with high success rates? I've heard about Sankara Netralaya in Chennai would you recommend going there instead?
A diabetic patient with a blood glucose level of 140 to 200mg/dL is considered as maximum when opting for cataract surgery. Surgeons can relax on the phaco energy, running of fluid through the eyes. Poor pupillary dilation and careless procedure can cause damage to the intraocular lens.
