my eye power is 5 in both eyes and I have hypermyopia in the left eye can I still get lasik surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is possible to get LASIK surgery with a +5.00 diopter prescription for hyperopia (farsightedness) in one eye and a similar prescription in the other eye, but it depends on several factors, including corneal thickness and overall eye health. A consultation with an ophthalmologist is crucial to determine if you are a suitable candidate.

View allMy dad needs cataract surgery and we're stuck on choosing the right lens. We were considering the trifocal Indian lens (Tridiff TF) but heard imported ones like Zeiss TF might be better. The cost with imported lenses is double though. Is the difference in quality worth the extra money or are Indian lenses just as good?
Eye opinion is advised to the patient.

Had PRK surgery 5 months ago and my right eye is fine but my left eye stays blurry unless I use lubricant drops - vision gets clear for a bit then goes back to being fuzzy. My left eye is at 69 before drops. Why does it keep doing this and is it normal after PRK?
It's normal to experience some degree of blurred vision after PRK surgery, especially if the vision is fluctuating and improving with lubricant drops. However, five months post-surgery, it's important to investigate why this persists and discuss it with your eye doctor. While individual healing rates can vary, persistent blurriness and dependence on drops warrant further evaluation.

I had squint eye surgery last year but might need another one will a second surgery definitely fix my eyes this time or is there still a chance it won't work?
A second squint surgery can correct residual deviation but success depends on muscle healing, previous scarring, and proper alignment planning.
