I've been wearing glasses for 15 years with a power of 3.75 and I'm considering LASIK surgery to get rid of them. Is LASIK a good option for someone like me? What should I expect during the procedure and recovery? Are there any risks or side effects I should be aware of? Also, how do I know if I'm even eligible for it?

With a -3.75 prescription and 15 years of wearing glasses, you're likely a good candidate for LASIK. However, a consultation with an eye surgeon is crucial to determine if LASIK is the right option for you and to discuss any potential risks or alternatives.

View allI've had squint eyes since birth and I'm 27 now. I've learned to live with it, but if there's a way to fix it without surgery, I'd love to know more. Are there any non-surgical treatments or exercises that could help correct squint eyes?
Minor squint may be improved with vision therapy in children, but adult cases often need surgery for cosmetic correction.

my cornea size is 485 in one eye and 490 in the other with myopia of 6.25 and 6.50 would epi lasik surgery work for me
Epi-LASIK surgery might be an option for you, but it depends on a comprehensive eye exam, including corneal topography and pachymetry, to assess your suitability. While a corneal thickness of 485 µm is at the lower end of the acceptable range for LASIK, it's not necessarily a contraindication, especially if other factors like corneal shape are favorable. However, with myopia of 6.25 and 6.50, the amount of tissue that would need to be removed during the procedure will be a significant factor in determining if Epi-LASIK is a safe option.

I have 2.50 vision in both eyes and really want to get rid of my glasses. Are there any non-surgical ways to improve my eyesight naturally? I've heard about eye exercises and diet changes do those actually work or is surgery the only option?
For vision improvement, non-surgical methods like eye exercises and diet changes might help reduce strain, but they rarely eliminate the need for glasses. Surgery like LASIK is the most effective option for myopia correction.
