my cornea size is 485 in one eye and 490 in the other with myopia of 6.25 and 6.50 would epi lasik surgery work for me
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Epi-LASIK surgery might be an option for you, but it depends on a comprehensive eye exam, including corneal topography and pachymetry, to assess your suitability. While a corneal thickness of 485 µm is at the lower end of the acceptable range for LASIK, it's not necessarily a contraindication, especially if other factors like corneal shape are favorable. However, with myopia of 6.25 and 6.50, the amount of tissue that would need to be removed during the procedure will be a significant factor in determining if Epi-LASIK is a safe option.

My son was born premature and we noticed a bump on his left eyelid when he closes his eyes. Later, he developed a squint, so we tried glasses and patching as the doctor suggested, but he's not cooperating. Now the doctor recommended squint surgery is 1.6 years too early for the procedure? What are the possible side effects or complications we should be aware of?
Squint surgery, especially in young children, carries several potential risks. These include temporary discomfort or pain, infection, bleeding, and scarring. In rare cases, surgery may lead to over or under-correction of the squint, requiring further procedures or vision problems like double vision. Other complications can include damage to surrounding tissues or nerves, affecting eye movement or vision.
