My 14-year-old niece is scheduled for LASIK surgery to fix her really bad eyesight, and we're all a bit nervous about how it'll go. What are the actual success rates for LASIK recovery in someone her age? How long does it usually take to fully recover, and are there any major risks we should watch out for after the surgery?

I've had myopia for the past 18 years and I'm wondering if it can be treated without surgery. What are my options besides LASIK or SMILE and how much do those procedures usually cost?

I've had diabetic retinopathy for around a year and already had laser treatment. My doctor is recommending laser surgery with silicone injections, but my diabetes is under control now are there any other options besides surgery that might work better for me?
Yes, there are other options besides laser surgery and silicone injections for managing diabetic retinopathy, particularly if your diabetes is now under control. Anti-VEGF injections and laser treatment are often considered the primary treatments. If those haven't been sufficient, or if complications like retinal detachment are present, vitrectomy might be necessary. However, with good blood sugar control, Anti-VEGF injections and further laser treatments can be very effective in stabilizing the disease and reducing vision loss.
