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.

Low myopia (0.75D) is suitable for LASIK/PRK;with proper screening,you can expect to achieve vision 6/6 safely.

my cornea size is 485 in one eye and 490 in the other with myopia of 6.25 and 6.50 would epi lasik surgery work for me
Epi-LASIK surgery might be an option for you, but it depends on a comprehensive eye exam, including corneal topography and pachymetry, to assess your suitability. While a corneal thickness of 485 µm is at the lower end of the acceptable range for LASIK, it's not necessarily a contraindication, especially if other factors like corneal shape are favorable. However, with myopia of 6.25 and 6.50, the amount of tissue that would need to be removed during the procedure will be a significant factor in determining if Epi-LASIK is a safe option.

Is anesthesia injected directly into the eye during squint surgery and does it hurt? I'm really nervous about the procedure and want to know what to expect with the pain level
Squint surgery usually uses local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia for children—pain is minimal during the procedure and manageable postoperatively.
