Is LASIK or laser eye surgery safe for teenagers in the long run I'm 22 with -3 eyesight in both eyes and wondering if it's a good option for me
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, LASIK is safe at 22 for stable numbers—get corneal thickness and stability checked before deciding.

View allmy right eye has advanced stage glaucoma and im really worried - is there any treatment without surgery or if surgery is the only option how much would it cost
For advanced glaucoma, non-surgical options include prescription eye drops, oral medications, and laser treatments to lower eye pressure. If these are not effective or if vision loss progresses despite them, surgery might be necessary. Glaucoma surgery can't cure or reverse vision loss, but it can help protect vision and prevent further damage

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?
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
