My eyesight is power right eye 6 and left eye 6.5 with cornea thickness 490. I'm trying to figure out what's better for me LASIK, PRK, or any other newer surgery options I might not know about. Can you help me decide?

Thin corneas without any ectatic disorders per say won't cause any problem ..... Lasik is not suitable.for getting rid of your glasses you can opt for other refractive procedures other than lasik
Dr. Kamran Suggests...
Consult a Ophthalmologist

View allIt's been almost 3 months since my C3R and Intacs procedure for keratoconus but my eyes are still super sensitive to light. How long does this usually last before it gets better?
Light sensitivity (photophobia) after C3R and Intacs procedures for keratoconus is common and can last for several weeks to a few months. While the initial few days might be the worst, most people see a significant improvement within 1-3 months. Some may experience lingering sensitivity, especially in bright lights or when wearing sunglasses, but it generally stabilizes.

My mom is 58 and has some eye pressure issues. The doctor mentioned she might need YAG PI laser surgery before cataract surgery. Is this really necessary or can we skip it? I'm worried about the risks and if it's absolutely needed for her situation.

I'm 18 and have myopia with -2.25 and -1.75 power. I want to join NDA where the limit is -2.5. Can wearing glasses, taking vitamin A, eating healthy, and avoiding eye strain help reduce my myopia by just 0.25 or 1D? Or is there any other way to keep my power from increasing? I heard LASIK might make me unfit for NDA so what options do I have
my dear friend,-1.75 and -2.25 DS is already less than -2.50 ,so according to your claim of having myopia less than -2.50 is fulfilling your criteria.so no worries now.,go ahead and persue profession of your choice. but please make sure of the requirement standards of NDA. yes ,healthy diet is always helpful ,but you will have to keep using your glasses,otherwise your power would increase.
