View allI'm thinking about getting LASIK surgery but I'm worried about the side effects like dry eyes how long does that usually last and are there other complications I should know about
Dry eyes after LASIK usually last 1–3 months; other rare risks include glare, halos, or undercorrection—use lubricants and follow up closely for better outcome.

How much does LASIK eye surgery usually cost and who is eligible for it I've heard there are risks but not sure what they are exactly also why might someone decide against getting the procedure done
LASIK eye surgery can cost anywhere from ‚Çπ20,000 to ‚Çπ1,50,000 for both eyes in India, depending on the type of procedure and location. Eligibility typically involves having stable vision, a prescription within certain ranges, and generally healthy eyes without certain conditions like glaucoma or keratoconus. Risks include dry eyes, glare, halos, and potential for under or over correction. Some people may choose not to get LASIK due to fear of complications, the cost, or if they don't qualify due to existing eye conditions.

my right eye has advanced stage glaucoma and im really worried - is there any treatment without surgery or if surgery is the only option how much would it cost
For advanced glaucoma, non-surgical options include prescription eye drops, oral medications, and laser treatments to lower eye pressure. If these are not effective or if vision loss progresses despite them, surgery might be necessary. Glaucoma surgery can't cure or reverse vision loss, but it can help protect vision and prevent further damage
