I've been looking into LASIK surgery options lately and stumbled across keratoconus. I'm 22 and have had pretty stable glasses prescription for the last 3 years with no major vision issues, but my astigmatism is pretty high (sph 6, cyl 2.75). Could this mean I might have keratoconus or am I just overthinking it? Is there a way to rule this out for sure?

View allI had relex smile surgery about 1.5 years ago and now I'm dealing with irregular astigmatism in my left eye causing ghosting vision. My right eye isn't fully 66 vision either, plus I have starbursts and glare both day and night. Could these issues affect my chances of appearing for SSC or army entrance exams
Yes, irregular astigmatism, especially with ghosting vision and glare, could negatively affect your chances of being accepted into the SSC or Army. While ReLEx SMILE surgery is generally safe and effective, post-operative issues like irregular astigmatism and visual distortions can impact your eligibility. Army and SSC entrance exams often have strict vision standards to ensure candidates can perform their duties effectively.

I've had stable eyesight for about a year now with -2.50 in my right eye and -2.75 in the left. I'm considering Contoura vision surgery but not sure if it's the best option for me what do you think would work better for my prescription?
Contoura vision is effective for your prescription; a refractive specialist can confirm eligibility based on corneal scans.
