Now dealing with CNVM and silicon oil still in place. What's the safest way to remove the silicon oil without causing another retinal detachment?

I've been wearing specs for almost 8 years with a power of 2.75 in my left eye and 3.75 in my right. Recently, a doctor at Vasan Eye Care mentioned my eyes have pressure and recommended surgery, but I'm not sure I want to go through with it. I also have cylindrical power is LASIK a good option or should I stick with glasses? What are the treatments available for eye pressure?
Given your concerns about eye pressure and potential surgery, and your existing prescription (2.75 in the left eye and 3.75 in the right), here's a breakdown of options and considerations: LASIK and Eye Pressure: LASIK might not be the best option if you have elevated eye pressure or are at risk for glaucoma. LASIK involves creating a corneal flap, which can increase eye pressure. If glaucoma or high intraocular pressure is a concern, other refractive surgeries like LASEK, PRK, or P-IOL might be more suitable. These procedures don't involve creating a corneal flap, which can reduce the risk of pressure spikes. It's crucial to have your eye pressure thoroughly assessed and managed before considering any refractive surgery. If your eye pressure is elevated, it needs to be stabilized before LASIK can be considered
