My cornea thickness is 410 microns and I'm considering C3R eye surgery. Is this thickness enough for the procedure or do I need to meet specific minimum requirements? I'm a bit worried about whether my eyes are suitable for it.

A cornea thickness of 410 microns may not be suitable for C3R surgery. While C3R can be performed with thinner corneas, it's crucial to maintain a minimum corneal thickness after the procedure to avoid complications like ectasia. Generally, a minimum stromal thickness of 330 microns is recommended.

My daughter has been prescribed glasses for her vision issues and I wanted to check if Lasik surgery could help her. Her prescription is Right Eye and Left Eye SPH 7.00, CYL 1.00, Axis 170, Vision DV 66 NV N6 DV. Can Lasik correct her vision at this power level and how effective would it be? Also, what's the cost and how much can her vision improve? What's the maximum power level where Lasik still works?
You hv given glass prescription of one eye or if both eyes are same power, I do not know. Lasik is suitable for 1 to 8 D ..but is a generalized statement ..after thorough check up the doctor can tell you if it is suitable for her or no. The cost varies according to the type and place where you do lasik.

My mom needs cataract surgery and the doctor gave two options a 2.8mm incision with an Indian lens or a 1.8mm one with an imported lens. Which one is better for her? I'm a bit confused about the difference in incision size and lens quality
Any lens can be implemented ie Indian or imported through either incisions. And results will be almost equal. So please look into your budget.
