My eye power is -9 and -10 and still increasing. Which LASIK surgery would be the best option for me given my high prescription? I'm a bit worried about stability since my vision keeps changing.

View allmy dad is 65 and needs cataract surgery the doctor recommended replacing his lens with an artificial one is that safe or are there risks should we consider laser treatment instead
Yes, cataract surgery where the natural lens is replaced with an artificial lens is generally safe and effective, especially in older adults. There are risks associated with any surgery, but lens replacement is considered a very safe procedure with a high success rate. Laser-assisted cataract surgery is a variation that some surgeons may offer, and it can have some benefits, but the choice between traditional and laser-assisted surgery is typically based on individual factors

Why do so many doctors and nurses wear glasses instead of getting laser eye surgery even when their eyes are fit for it? The doctor I consulted said it's just cosmetic and advised against surgery, but I'm curious why medical professionals seem to prefer specs over LASIK if it's safe and effective
While LASIK surgery is a safe and effective way to correct vision, many doctors and nurses choose to wear glasses due to a variety of factors, including personal preference, potential complications, and even perceived professional image. A doctor's advice against surgery may be based on individual patient factors and a conservative approach to treatment.
