View allI've been wearing specs with a power of 4 and I'm considering laser surgery to get rid of them. Is it safe for my eye power? What's the recovery like and are there any side effects I should know about?
Yes, it's generally safe to undergo laser eye surgery with a prescription of 4.00, and it's considered a good candidate for LASIK. The procedure aims to correct refractive errors, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses. Recovery is usually quick, with most patients regaining vision within a few days. While generally safe, there are potential side effects to be aware of.

I had squint surgery when I was 12 because my right eye had poor vision and a noticeable squint. Now my eye seems to have drifted around 25 degrees does this mean my squint is coming back and can I get a second surgery to fix it?
Squint recurrence timing varies by type. Esotropia (inward-turning eye) typically shows signs of recurrence within 1-2 years post-surgery. Exotropia (outward-turning eye) often demonstrates a more gradual drift, becoming noticeable 3-5 years after surgery
