My sister has been suffering from Steven Johnson syndrome for 10 years and her vision keeps getting worse. We've tried multiple eye surgeries but nothing has worked so far. She needs a keratoplasty transplant do you know which hospitals in India perform this procedure? I'm really worried and need some guidance on where to go.
LV Prasad, AIIMS Delhi, and Sankara Nethralaya are top hospitals in India for keratoplasty—consult corneal specialists there.

Which procedure is better between LASIK and PRK when it comes to quality of vision after surgery and post-operative pain? I've heard there can be other issues after surgery too. Also, my corneal thickness is 495 um with a power of 3.50 in both eyes, and all my topography tests came back normal. Would LASIK or PRK be the better option for me to get rid of my glasses?
With normal topography and 495 μm corneal thickness, PRK is safer than LASIK and has less risk of complications; PRK has slightly more pain initially but similar long-term vision quality.
