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 have a power of 6.5 with a slight squint in my right eye. I really want to get rid of my glasses and also fix the squint. Can I go for LASIK first and then get squint surgery later, or should I do it the other way around? What's the best approach for this?
It's generally recommended to address the squint (strabismus) before considering LASIK surgery, especially with a high refractive error like yours. LASIK can sometimes affect eye muscle balance, potentially making the squint worse. A consultation with a strabismus specialist and your ophthalmologist is crucial to determine the best course of action.

Phacoemulsification (phaco) is a common and effective technique, but other options, like laser-assisted cataract surgery, offer different advantages for some patients
