My friend's left eye power is 14 and right eye is 12 is laser surgery safe for such high numbers? He's worried about risks since his prescription seems pretty strong
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Laser eye surgery can be safe for high prescriptions, but it's not always the best option and depends on individual factors. While LASIK is generally safe, very high prescriptions like 14 and 12 diopters may be close to or beyond the typical limits of correction for LASIK. In such cases, other options like ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) or other refractive surgeries might be more suitable. It's crucial for your friend to consult with an experienced refractive surgeon to determine the best course of action for their specific case

My eye power is -11 in both eyes and I really want to get rid of my glasses. Is there any treatment or surgery that can help me? Could you suggest what options might work for my case?
If you're tired of wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses, you may wonder whether LASIK surgery is right for you. LASIK is short for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis. It is a surgery to correct blurry vision. The result of LASIK surgery for more than 99% of people is 20/40 vision or better.
