I've had this stye on my lower left eyelid for weeks now. The doctor gave me antibiotics for 3 days and told me to use warm compresses, but it hasn't gotten any better. She mentioned an incision might be needed if it doesn't improve, but I'm really scared of any kind of eye surgery. Are there other options besides surgery to treat this stye? It's such a sensitive area and the thought of an operation freaks me out

I have a high prescription of 9.00 and 10 power in my eyes what's the best type of LASIK surgery for me? Will the results last a lifetime, and can this be detected during medical fitness tests like RRB exams?

Your doctor will have to check and see if Lasik will be possible in your case or not. Otherwise ICL may be required . You need proper counselling after detailed check up to select the procedure for you.
