my right eye vision is 69 with an axis of 1.85 and cycle at 180 - i'm considering laser surgery to improve my eyesight but i'm not sure if this is the right age to do it without risks

It's understandable to be concerned about risks when considering laser eye surgery. While there's no strict age limit, most surgeons prefer candidates between 20 and 40, as vision tends to stabilize during this period. However, individual circumstances, including eye health and medical history, play a significant role. Your vision correction number (69) and axis (1.85) are specific, and a qualified eye surgeon can assess if you're a suitable candidate, considering your overall eye health and the potential risks and benefits of the procedure.

View allCan PRK surgery be detected during a railway medical exam since it's not allowed for the job I know LASIK is also banned but I'm more worried about PRK showing up on their eye tests
PRK can be detected during a railway medical exam, although it's not as easily detected as LASIK. While LASIK involves creating a flap that can be seen, PRK doesn't, making it more difficult to detect with standard slit lamp examinations. However, advanced tests like corneal topography can detect PRK, and some residual scarring from PRK can also be visible on slit lamp examination.

I have 660 vision in my left eye with glasses and 69 vision in my right eye with glasses. My left eye has a power of 7D and my right eye is 2.75D. I'm 16 years old and really worried can this be fixed with surgery or will I have to live with this forever? Also, will my right eye keep getting worse over time? Am I at risk of going blind in both eyes as I get older?
Your vision can be improved with surgery such as LASIK or ICL, especially if progression stops. Follow-up is essential to monitor long-term stability.
