Stem cell therapy for glaucoma treatment is available in India and abroad, with Delhi/NCR offering options like Stem Cell Care India. While research is ongoing, stem cells are being explored for their potential to protect the optic nerve and potentially delay vision loss. India is also known as a medical tourism destination for stem cell therapy.

View allI have thin corneas and can't get LASIK, so my doctor recommended SMILE but I've heard it has some drawbacks. Now I'm seeing Contoura Vision might be better what's the best option for someone with thin corneas like me?
Contoura Vision needs sufficient corneal thickness; SMILE is preferred in thinner corneas—choose based on topography and surgeon’s advice.

My age is 32 and my corneal thickness is 494 in the right eye and 497 in the left eye with a SPH of 6 CYL 1.5 axis 175 in both eyes. I've consulted a few doctors but got mixed opinions two said no surgery and to stick with glasses, one suggested epi lasik or Lasek, and two recommended ICL. I'm really confused about what to do next and which procedure would be best for me. Can you help me understand my options and suggest a good doctor in Bangalore?
