View allIs a sensitive eye something that can be treated with medication or would it require surgery? I've been dealing with discomfort and wondering what the best treatment options are
With sensitive, irritated eyes, you want to be gentle and avoid touching them as much as possible—which isn't easy when they're itchy or painful. Cold compresses are great for reducing swelling and sensitivity, and Clear Eyes eye drops for itchy eyes, dry eyes or sensitive eyes can help bring relief

My corneal thickness is 576 and 582 and I've been told my corneas are steep with mean K values of 48 and 46.2 but no signs of keratoconus progression. I'm scheduled for Femto LASIK wavefront-guided surgery at AIIMS Delhi with Dr. Jeewan Singh Titiyal, who's a Padma Shri awardee. They estimate my post-op corneal thickness will be 390 and 350 in each eye with a BCVA of 69. I'm worried about complications like irregular flap creation, gas bubble breakthrough, buttonholes, or wrinkles how likely are these in my case given my corneal thickness and steepness? Does a thinner cornea increase these risks?
Your case requires careful surgical planning. Thinner corneas may increase LASIK risks but expert surgeons like Dr. Titiyal manage this well. Discuss CXL if needed.

What's the difference in recovery time between Indian and imported lenses for cataract surgery if I go with phaco? The Indian lens needs a 2.8 mm incision while the imported one only needs 1.8 mm does the smaller cut mean faster healing? I'm trying to decide which option is better for me
Yes, generally, a smaller incision in cataract surgery, like the 1.8 mm incision for imported lenses, does tend to lead to faster recovery time. This is because smaller incisions result in less trauma to the eye tissue, which translates to less inflammation and quicker healing. While both Indian and imported lenses can be used with phacoemulsification, the smaller incision size of MICS (Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery) can lead to a faster recovery.
