Question 2

I'm curious about getting rid of my spectacles, as my eye power is 2.25 in both eyes. Do I need any special treatment or surgery to address this? I'd love some guidance on what my options might be.

Accepted Answer

For your myopia of -2.25 in both eyes, you may consider undergoing a refractive surgery called LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis). This procedure can help correct your vision and reduce your dependence on glasses or contact lenses. It is important to consult with an ophthalmologist to determine if you are a suitable candidate for LASIK. The typical dosage for this surgery is one session per eye, with post-operative care instructions provided by your doctor.

Question 3

I'm really concerned about something that's been happening since I had herpes zoster shingles a couple of weeks ago. I had rashes on my neck and shoulders, all on the left side, but they've mostly cleared up now. However, this morning I noticed I can only twitch my left eye. I came across something online about herpes zoster ophthalmicus, and I'm worried this could be a late effect of the shingles. What should I do about this?

Accepted Answer

It is the complication of herpes infection.

I've had a squint in my right eye since I was a kid, but it seems more noticeable now as I'm 28. Is there any way to fix this without having surgery? Are there glasses or maybe muscle exercises that could help?

As it is since brth,surgical correction is the best option,conservative management wont work,visit Ophtholomologist for appropriate management
