I've had vision problems since I was a kid started at -2 and now it's -7. No doctor has been able to tell me if it's curable. Are there any treatment options besides surgery that could help improve my eyesight?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A prescription of -7 in eyesight indicates a high level of nearsightedness, also known as myopia. It means that the eye's lens needs a powerful negative lens to focus light correctly onto the retina, allowing for clear vision at close distances but making it difficult to see distant objects clearly. This condition typically requires glasses or contact lenses for proper vision correction

View allmy 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.

Is anesthesia injected directly into the eye during squint surgery and does it hurt? I'm really nervous about the procedure and want to know what to expect with the pain level
Squint surgery usually uses local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia for children—pain is minimal during the procedure and manageable postoperatively.
