My vision is 69 with 0.75 power in both eyes and I'm considering LASIK or PRK surgery. I need to reach at least 66 vision without glasses is it safe to go for the procedure with my current prescription? Just worried if my power is too low for surgery to be effective.

Can a slit lamp microscope alone detect if PRK or TransPRK surgery has fully healed or would I need additional tests to confirm everything's okay

No, slit lamp alone can't confirm healing after PRK/TransPRK. Additional tests like corneal topography, pachymetry, and visual acuity are needed for complete assessment.

I have a squint in my right eye and I'm considering surgery how effective is it and what's the recovery like? Are there any risks I should know about?

Squint surgery, also known as strabismus surgery, is generally effective in correcting eye misalignment, with most patients seeing significant improvement in their eye alignment. Recovery typically takes a few weeks, with most people returning to normal activities within that time, although complete healing and final alignment can take several weeks or even months. While generally safe, there are some potential risks, including temporary side effects like mild discomfort, redness, or double vision, and in rare cases, more serious complications like infection or vision impairment.
