I've been wearing specs with a power of 4 and I'm considering laser surgery to get rid of them. Is it safe for my eye power? What's the recovery like and are there any side effects I should know about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, it's generally safe to undergo laser eye surgery with a prescription of 4.00, and it's considered a good candidate for LASIK. The procedure aims to correct refractive errors, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses. Recovery is usually quick, with most patients regaining vision within a few days. While generally safe, there are potential side effects to be aware of.

Is anesthesia injected directly into the eye during squint surgery and does it hurt? I'm really nervous about the procedure and want to know what to expect with the pain level
Squint surgery usually uses local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia for children—pain is minimal during the procedure and manageable postoperatively.

I have a squint eye and I'm considering surgery but I'm worried it might cause vision loss is that a common risk or are there safer options to fix this
Vision loss is not a common risk with squint surgery, but it's important to be aware of potential risks, including temporary vision changes, double vision, and in rare cases, a permanent decrease in vision. There are safer, non-surgical options like vision therapy, glasses, and prism lenses that can address squint without the risks of surgery
