Question 1

i'm trying to decide between contoura vision and smile surgery but i'm confused about the side effects and why contoura is considered better even though it's cheaper than smile can you explain which one would be the better option overall

Accepted Answer

Contoura offers better customization for corneal irregularities; SMILE has less dry eye and no flap. Choose based on your corneal thickness and lifestyle. Consult a refractive surgeon for suitability.

Question 2

I have a power of 2.00 in both eyes with both cylindrical and spherical issues but I really don't like wearing glasses Is LASIK surgery a good option for someone with such low power or should I just stick to glasses

Accepted Answer

Yes, LASIK surgery can be a good option for your prescription, especially if you have stable vision and healthy corneas. It can correct both spherical and cylindrical errors effectively. However, a detailed pre-LASIK evaluation by an ophthalmologist is essential to ensure you're a suitable candidate.

Question 3

I have a squint of around 4 to 5 degrees both near and far, sometimes even 5 to 6 degrees. How can I overcome this? Will I need surgery? It really bothers me, and I feel like it affects my accuracy when drawing does squint cause that?

Accepted Answer

Yes, strabismus (squint) can be corrected, and whether surgery is needed depends on the severity and underlying cause. Non-surgical options like vision therapy, eye patches, glasses, or botox injections are often tried first. If these aren't effective, surgery to reposition the eye muscles may be necessary. It's also possible that squint affects drawing accuracy, but this would need to be assessed by a professional
