My left eye has high myopia at 19D and my right eye is at 4D. I was recommended ICL surgery but waiting a year since my power isn't stable my left eye changed from 18D to 19D. Now I'm noticing double vision sometimes with this new prescription. Will this get better on its own or could it be something more serious?

How much does LASIK eye surgery usually cost and who is eligible for it I've heard there are risks but not sure what they are exactly also why might someone decide against getting the procedure done

LASIK eye surgery can cost anywhere from ‚Çπ20,000 to ‚Çπ1,50,000 for both eyes in India, depending on the type of procedure and location. Eligibility typically involves having stable vision, a prescription within certain ranges, and generally healthy eyes without certain conditions like glaucoma or keratoconus. Risks include dry eyes, glare, halos, and potential for under or over correction. Some people may choose not to get LASIK due to fear of complications, the cost, or if they don't qualify due to existing eye conditions.

my dad needs cataract surgery and I'm confused about whether to go for an Indian lens or an imported one what are the key differences and which one would be better for his condition

Both Indian and imported lenses can be effective for cataract surgery. Imported lenses often have advanced features like better night vision, reduced glare, and longer durability, but they are costlier. Indian lenses have improved a lot and are suitable in most cases. The choice depends on your father’s lifestyle, visual needs, and budget—discuss with the ophthalmologist for personalized advice.

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.
