I've had esotropia since I was 3 years old can it be fixed with glasses or is surgery the only option? If surgery is needed, which state in India has the best specialists for esotropic eye surgery? Also, what's the approximate cost for the surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Esotropia (where the eye turns inward) can sometimes be corrected with glasses, particularly in cases of accommodative esotropia. However, if it's a non-accommodative esotropia or infantile esotropia, surgery is often the primary treatment

View allmy dad needs cataract surgery and I'm confused about whether to go for an Indian lens or an imported one what are the key differences and which one would be better for his condition
Both Indian and imported lenses can be effective for cataract surgery. Imported lenses often have advanced features like better night vision, reduced glare, and longer durability, but they are costlier. Indian lenses have improved a lot and are suitable in most cases. The choice depends on your father’s lifestyle, visual needs, and budget—discuss with the ophthalmologist for personalized advice.

my left eye has sph 6 and cyl 2.75 while my right eye is sph 5 and cyl 2 can I still get laser surgery to correct my vision
Yes, it's likely you're still a candidate for laser eye surgery (like LASIK) even with your prescription. While your prescription is on the higher end, many procedures can handle prescriptions up to +6 diopters for farsightedness and -12 diopters for nearsightedness, as well as astigmatism up to 6 diopters. However, individual cases can vary, and a consultation with a qualified eye surgeon is crucial for a personalized assessment of your suitability.
