Question 1

I've had a squint in my right eye since childhood but it's become more noticeable lately. I'm 28 now are there non-surgical ways to fix this? Could special glasses or eye exercises help correct it?

Accepted Answer

In such cases, corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses can help by adjusting the focus, allowing the eyes to align more naturally. This is a squint eye treatment in adults that may be practical for addressing refractive errors. Prescription eyewear compensates for vision issues that might lead to squinting

Question 2

I'm 20 and have been wearing glasses for my short sight problem My friends keep suggesting I get eye surgery and I'm open to it if my age is suitable Could you tell me which option is safer and better between LASIK and laser surgery

Accepted Answer

Yes, 20 is generally considered a suitable age for laser eye surgery like LASIK, as vision typically stabilizes by this age. Most doctors prefer to perform the surgery when the prescription has been stable for about a year. This allows for a more predictable outcome and reduces the chance of needing further corrections later.

Question 3

I'm suffering from thyroid eye disease and currently getting treated at AIIMS New Delhi. They recommended decompression surgery but the ENT department doesn't have any near dates available for the procedure. Can you suggest the best surgeon for this surgery? I'm really worried about the delay in treatment.

Accepted Answer

yes decompression sx is advised.

My mom needs cataract surgery and the doctor gave two options a 2.8mm incision with an Indian lens or a 1.8mm one with an imported lens. Which one is better for her? I'm a bit confused about the difference in incision size and lens quality

Any lens can be implemented ie Indian or imported through either incisions. And results will be almost equal. So please look into your budget.
