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?

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

I need to get surgery to correct my vision but my cornea is thin and my power is 7.00 so LASIK isn't an option. My doctor recommended SMILE but I've read about some drawbacks. I also came across Contoura Vision which seems better. With a thin cornea, which one should I go for? I don't want ICL.

With thin cornea, SMILE is safer than LASIK but less accurate for high power‚ÄîContoura needs more thickness; ICL is most precise but invasive.

Which monofocal lens is better for cataract surgery Tecnis 1 or something else? I'm trying to decide what to go with and want to know the pros and cons of each option

Both the Tecnis 1 monofocal lens and others like the AcrySof Natural are great choices. Tecnis 1 offers excellent clarity and contrast, but the choice depends on your specific needs (like astigmatism). Discuss with your ophthalmologist the best lens for your lifestyle and visual needs.
