At age 28 with a -5 diopter prescription, LASIK surgery is a good option for correcting your vision. Many surgeons consider the age range between 20 and 40 ideal for LASIK, as vision tends to stabilize during these years. A prescription of -5 diopters is within the range typically considered suitable for LASIK.

My eyes squint whenever I take off my high-power glasses, and I can't wear them outside. Is there any way to treat squint eyes without surgery? Would contact lenses help with this issue?

Yes, there are non-surgical treatment options for squint eyes, and contact lenses could be one of them, especially if your squint is related to a refractive error. Vision therapy, eye patching, and prism glasses are other non-surgical approaches. If your squint is caused by a refractive error (like nearsightedness or farsightedness), wearing the correct prescription glasses or contact lenses can help align your eyes and reduce squinting.

I had cataract surgery 4 months ago and was prescribed systane ultra eye drops with polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol to use twice daily for a year. It's quite expensive are there any other options for managing dry eyes that might be more affordable? Sometimes my eyes still feel dry even with the drops.
