I've been struggling with myopia right eye is -2.50 and left eye is -2.75 and I'm considering surgery to get rid of my specs. There are so many options like Contoura Vision, SMILE, ICL, and LASIK, but I'm not sure which one is the best for me. Are there any side effects I should be worried about? Could you explain the pros and cons of each in detail?

My right eyelid is swollen with a pus-filled lump that's turned into a hard mass. The doctor recommended surgery but I want to try meds first. I've been taking gate df eyedrops, rabikind dsr, fynal 500, and zypore for 3 days but the lump hasn't reduced much. Should I switch meds or is surgery the only option now?

My granny had cataract surgery on 24 Feb 2017 and ever since then she's been having pain in her eyes and forehead. The pain comes and goes it's not too severe but it's persistent. How long will this last and when can we expect the pain to go away completely?

It's understandable that you're concerned about your granny's persistent pain after cataract surgery. While it's common to experience some discomfort after surgery, it's unusual for it to last for seven years. It's crucial to have your granny's eye doctor re-evaluate her condition and determine the cause of the pain.
