I've had 3.5 distance vision for the past three years and wear glasses regularly. Lately, I've been seeing a lot about eye surgeries to get rid of glasses and contacts. I went to a well-known hospital for a consultation, and after some tests, the doctor said I'm eligible for LASIK surgery. They mentioned I could live glasses and contact lens-free after the procedure. But I'm a bit worried is LASIK really safe? Once it's done, will I actually be able to see clearly without glasses or contacts?

View allI'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
ophthal opinion is advised to the pt.

8 months post-LASIK with poor vision is not normal—repeat refraction and topography needed; may need enhancement or could indicate regression.

I've had diabetic retinopathy for around a year and already had laser treatment. My doctor is recommending laser surgery with silicone injections, but my diabetes is under control now are there any other options besides surgery that might work better for me?
Yes, there are other options besides laser surgery and silicone injections for managing diabetic retinopathy, particularly if your diabetes is now under control. Anti-VEGF injections and laser treatment are often considered the primary treatments. If those haven't been sufficient, or if complications like retinal detachment are present, vitrectomy might be necessary. However, with good blood sugar control, Anti-VEGF injections and further laser treatments can be very effective in stabilizing the disease and reducing vision loss.
