My right eye has CCT 498 with 3.00 power and Km 44.9 D front, while my left eye has CCT 505 with 3.50 power and Km 46.2 D front. Am I a good candidate for FemtoLasik CXL surgery? How much corneal tissue would need to be removed for the flap and vision correction? What should my corneal thickness ideally be for this procedure?

Can you recommend a good laser surgery option to remove my glasses? I'm planning to join the defense sector and need clear vision without specs. Also, does the cornea heal back to its original shape after laser treatment without any cuts being made?

Consult opthalmologist for that.

I had LASIK surgery about a year ago but still have dryness and pain in my eyes. I've been using gentle care drops and gel for the past year, though not regularly. Is this normal or should I be concerned about something else going on?

My spherical power is 4.00 in both eyes and has been stable for a year, but now I have a new cylindrical power of 0.50. Should I hold off on LASIK surgery because of this change?

A new cylindrical power of 0.50 after a year of stable spherical power may not necessarily require you to hold off on LASIK surgery. Many surgeons consider a 0.50 diopter change stable enough for LASIK.
