My grandma is 60 and has been blind for about a year now. The doctors back home say her eyes are completely damaged naturally, but she wants to explore an eye transplant to regain her vision. Can you suggest the best hospitals in India or Bangalore for this procedure? Also, what would the approximate cost be so we can plan accordingly before bringing her to Bangalore?

Why do so many doctors and nurses wear glasses instead of getting laser eye surgery even when their eyes are fit for it? The doctor I consulted said it's just cosmetic and advised against surgery, but I'm curious why medical professionals seem to prefer specs over LASIK if it's safe and effective

While LASIK surgery is a safe and effective way to correct vision, many doctors and nurses choose to wear glasses due to a variety of factors, including personal preference, potential complications, and even perceived professional image. A doctor's advice against surgery may be based on individual patient factors and a conservative approach to treatment.

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
