My doctor noticed an old faint linear scar on my cornea during an exam but said it's normal and didn't suggest surgery why wouldn't they recommend removing it if it's a scar? Should I be concerned about it affecting my vision later?

View allEye pain and head shaking have been bothering me lately, and I'm seeing floaters in my vision. I got my eyes checked 3 months ago my prescription is right eye 5.0 with 1.50 cylinder at 90 axis, left eye 5.25 with 1.25 cylinder at 90 axis. The doctor said my number is right, but I'm still having issues. Would laser eye surgery help in my case, and if so, how much would it cost?
ophthal opinion is advised to the pt.

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.
