My eye power is really high and I'm 28. Is LASIK surgery safe for me? I'm worried about the risks but really want to get rid of my glasses as soon as possible. Can you suggest if it's a good option for me?

However if there are fluctuations in eye power then there is a possibility of some recurrent eye power even after the LASIK surgery. Therefore it is important to ensure that the eye power is stable for the last 1-2 years before planning LASIK surgery

My right eye doesn't open as much as my left one, and it makes them look uneven. Would eyelid surgery help fix this so they match better?

Eyelid ptosis can be corrected by minor eyelid surgery to improve symmetry and function; consult an oculoplastic surgeon for evaluation.
