View allI'm having trouble seeing clearly with my left eye even when I use my glasses, and I can't seem to improve my vision beyond 66. This vision issue is causing me to get rejected from joining the forces. I've heard that LASIK surgery might be a solution. Could you give me some advice on how to tackle this problem? Any guidance would be really helpful.

I'm really worried because my eyes have been red for the past couple of days. I've tried putting coconut oil around them and washing them with cold water. It helped a bit, but the redness still isn't gone. I'm thinking about using Refresh Tears eye drops. Do you think that's a good idea, and if so, how many drops should I use and for how long?
Yes you can use them like 2 drops in each eye for 4 times in a day, if it's becoming worse visit Ophthalmologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I've been dealing with high myopia with SPH powers of 7.50 and 7.25, and more recently, I was told I have a CYL of 1.50. While my SPH has been pretty stable, the CYL is new, and I'm not sure if it's settled down yet. I'm thinking about getting surgery to fix my vision but I'm unsure about which option is right for me. Would Lasik work, or should I be considering ICL or Contoura instead?
That completely depends on your corneal thickenss and history,visit Ophtholmologist for evaluation and appropriate management
