I've had a constant power for the last 2 years and I'm 23 years old. Here are my readings: left eye SPH 6.25 CYL 2.75 AXIS 180, right eye SPH 7.5 CYL 1.5 AXIS 5. Am I eligible for LASIK surgery? What are the chances if not, and are there other options with minimal risk like LASIK?

What's the recovery time like after phaco and laser cataract surgery with an imported IOL lens and are there any common side effects I should be aware of

Recovery from phaco and laser cataract surgery with an imported IOL lens typically takes 4-6 weeks. While most patients see improved vision within days, full healing and stabilization of eye power can take that long. Common side effects include mild discomfort, redness, light sensitivity, and blurred vision, which usually resolve within the first week

I have to undergo a medical exam for Indian Railways where LASIK or similar vision correction surgeries aren't allowed, but my only shot at being medically fit is to get LASIK or SMILE since I wear glasses. If I opt for SMILE, which has a tiny incision and no flap, will they still be able to detect it during the exam?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
