My myopia is at -7 and keeps getting worse, plus I'm seeing these floaters everywhere. Should I be worried about this? Do I need surgery or is there another way to manage it?

Should you worry about flashes and floaters? Both are very common, especially in older people, and more often than not they are nothing to worry about. If they are bothersome, dark glasses have been found to minimise the presence of floaters and you can discuss options with your optometrist.

View allI have vision problems and I'm considering eye surgery but I'm not sure where to start. What type of surgery would be best for me LASIK or something else? Also, can you recommend a good hospital or clinic for the procedure? I'm a bit nervous and would really appreciate some guidance
While LASIK is the most common surgery for refractive errors, there are other procedures that have similar procedures or goals. Refractive laser surgery options include: LASIK. The surgeon uses a laser or blade to create a flap in the outer layers of the cornea.

I've been looking into LASIK surgery options lately and stumbled across keratoconus. I'm 22 and have had pretty stable glasses prescription for the last 3 years with no major vision issues, but my astigmatism is pretty high (sph 6, cyl 2.75). Could this mean I might have keratoconus or am I just overthinking it? Is there a way to rule this out for sure?
ophthal opinion is advised to the patient.

I've had floaters for about a year now and they're really bothering me, especially when I'm trying to work on my laptop. Since I've had cataract surgery in both eyes, could that be making the floaters worse or causing these vision issues
While floaters are common after cataract surgery, they don't necessarily mean something is wrong. Cataract surgery improves vision, potentially making existing floaters more noticeable. If you're experiencing a sudden increase in floaters, especially with flashes of light or vision loss, see your eye doctor immediately as this could indicate a serious condition like a retinal tear or detachment.
