I am in dire need to reduce my eye power to be declared fit for my recruitment.Please explain the treatment options and potential risks involved.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I reviewed your history.

• It seems from the history that you are having refractive error of  -8 dioptres.

• Since it is constant without any further variation and your age is more than 18 years, you can undergo laser correction of your refractive power. This is called as Lasik and you can undergo this procedure.

• LASIK is a very safe procedure and it is of proven efficacy.

• The risks and complications can be avoided by proper evaluation and assessment of thickness of cornea.

• With proper evaluation and assessment the complications are almost nil.

• Hence, I advise you to consult your ophthalmologist for evaluation for fitness for lasik surgery and if found fit, you can undergo the procedure.

Hope this information is helpful to you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• Since, the retinal vasculitis is not active this will not cause any problem.

• The only permanent cure is the laser refractive surgery and there are no other alternatives.

• Hence, if you require it, you can absolutely go for the LASIK.

Hope this information is helpful to you.
