I've been noticing two floaters one medium-sized in my right eye and a smaller one in the left. Is there any diet change or medicine that can help reduce vitreous opacities or make them less noticeable? I've heard there's no allopathic treatment except surgery, but I'm hoping there might be other options to manage them

i had a corneal infection a while back and now i'm considering lasik surgery but i'm not sure if that makes me ineligible can you explain who typically can't get lasik and also what's the cost for a cornea mapping test

Prior corneal infection may affect LASIK eligibility; corneal mapping (~‚Çπ1,500‚Äì‚Çπ3,000) is essential first.

I'm 20 and have been wearing glasses for my short sight problem My friends keep suggesting I get eye surgery and I'm open to it if my age is suitable Could you tell me which option is safer and better between LASIK and laser surgery

Yes, 20 is generally considered a suitable age for laser eye surgery like LASIK, as vision typically stabilizes by this age. Most doctors prefer to perform the surgery when the prescription has been stable for about a year. This allows for a more predictable outcome and reduces the chance of needing further corrections later.

i'm trying to decide between contoura vision and smile surgery but i'm confused about the side effects and why contoura is considered better even though it's cheaper than smile can you explain which one would be the better option overall

Contoura offers better customization for corneal irregularities; SMILE has less dry eye and no flap. Choose based on your corneal thickness and lifestyle. Consult a refractive surgeon for suitability.
