View allI have a minor corneal scar and I'm wondering if there are any non-surgical treatments like eye drops that can help improve it. Is there anything that can be done without going for surgery?
Some common eye drops for corneal abrasion include erythromycin ointment, ciprofloxacin drops, and moxifloxacin drops. You probably won't need pain relievers. But if you do, your doctor may suggest over-the-counter (OTC) oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

I'm getting LASIK surgery at AIIMS Delhi in July for astigmatism, but I'm worried about human error in the prescription. Since refraction tests are subjective, how do surgeons make sure they program the machine exactly right? What if my astigmatism axis or power is slightly off on surgery day? Do they recheck my eye power right before the procedure to avoid mistakes?
To address your concerns about LASIK surgery at AIIMS Delhi, it's reassuring to know that modern techniques and advanced technology minimize errors. Surgeons use precise measurements and techniques, including rechecking your eye power right before the procedure, to ensure accuracy.
