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

Shankar Netralaya in Chennai diagnosed my daughter with retinitis pigmentosa in her eyes. I read online that the only available surgery is bionic eye in the US, but I wanted to check if there are any other successful treatments in India maybe in allopathy, ayurveda, or homeopathy. If not, can you suggest a doctor in India who does the bionic eye procedure?

My eye power is 8.5 with some cylindrical issue. I got tested for laser eye surgery but the doctor said laser isn't possible or safe for such high power and recommended ICL instead. I don't know much about ICL is laser really not an option for my power and how safe is ICL?
Yes, with an eye power of 8.5 and some cylindrical error, laser eye surgery (LASIK) might not be a safe or ideal option for you, especially if your corneal thickness is also a concern. Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery is often recommended as an alternative for such high prescriptions. ICL is generally considered a safe procedure with a high success rate, and it can correct both nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism
