My wife is 31 and has been wearing glasses for the past 10 years. She's considering FemtoLasik but I'm really worried about her safety. Is she a good candidate for this surgery and what are the real risks involved? Should she go ahead with FemtoLasik or is it safer to just stick with glasses and contacts since ReLEx SMILE isn't available here yet?

I've had squint eyes since birth and I'm 27 now. I've learned to live with it, but if there's a way to fix it without surgery, I'd love to know more. Are there any non-surgical treatments or exercises that could help correct squint eyes?

Minor squint may be improved with vision therapy in children, but adult cases often need surgery for cosmetic correction.

I'm a 23-year-old male with eyesight above 7 in both eyes and considering LASIK surgery. A clinic asked me to get a corneal scan test for Rs 3500 to check if I'm eligible. Can I do the pre-tests at one hospital and the actual LASIK at another? Will the second hospital accept the reports or make me retest? Also, two hospitals quoted different prices for the scan Rs 2000 and Rs 3500. Since it's a machine-based test, does going for the cheaper option affect accuracy or should I pay more for better quality?
