My eye power is 2.25 in both eyes and I really want to stop wearing spectacles. Is there any treatment or surgery that can help me with this? Could you suggest what options I have?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
With a prescription of 2.25 in both eyes, you are a good candidate for vision correction options like LASIK or PRK surgery, which can reduce or eliminate the need for glasses. Alternatively, you could consider corrective contact lenses or newer procedures like SMILE. It’s important to have a thorough eye exam to determine the best and safest option for you.

View allI have a power of 6.5 with a slight squint in my right eye. I really want to get rid of my glasses and also fix the squint. Can I go for LASIK first and then get squint surgery later, or should I do it the other way around? What's the best approach for this?
It's generally recommended to address the squint (strabismus) before considering LASIK surgery, especially with a high refractive error like yours. LASIK can sometimes affect eye muscle balance, potentially making the squint worse. A consultation with a strabismus specialist and your ophthalmologist is crucial to determine the best course of action.

I had Lasik surgery 5 years ago but my vision has gotten worse again now I have -0.75 in my left eye and -1.75 in my right eye. Is implantable contact lens surgery an option for me at this point? I'm worried about my vision getting worse and want to explore other permanent solutions.
Yes, ICL is a viable option post-LASIK regression—get evaluated by a refractive surgery expert.

I have a squint in my right eye and I'm considering surgery how effective is it and what's the recovery like? Are there any risks I should know about?
Squint surgery, also known as strabismus surgery, is generally effective in correcting eye misalignment, with most patients seeing significant improvement in their eye alignment. Recovery typically takes a few weeks, with most people returning to normal activities within that time, although complete healing and final alignment can take several weeks or even months. While generally safe, there are some potential risks, including temporary side effects like mild discomfort, redness, or double vision, and in rare cases, more serious complications like infection or vision impairment.
