Please suggest me the right treatment prk or lasik or icl
LASIK vs. ICL
Sep 2, 2015
I would favor ICL over LASIK in your case, mainly because your corneas are on the thinner side for the amount of LASIK laser you would need (about 500 microns.) You have plenty of room for an ICL, and little astigmatism. Good luck!

In my practice, I wait 3 months after nearsighted LASIK to let the eyes heal and settle down before considering an enhancement. Depending on the total residual prescription at that time (i.e., plano-0.25 or -0.50-0.25), as well your satisfaction and other test results I would make a recommendation for or against enhancement. We wait because we see improvement in many over that time. I recommend patience, keeping your appointments, and not getting too hung up on numbers. For example, the 0.25…
I want to do LASIK surgery. Any suggestions?
-17 LASIK?

Your correction is too large for LASIK or PRK. Your best option is likely an ICL, which can correct considerably more myopia than LASIK

What can I do?
Jul 29, 2015
According to your limited records, you had LASEK (basically the same as PRK) with can take longer to completely heal. I recommend aggressively treating the dry eye with the drops you’re using, Omega 3 oral supplementation (I prefer high dose i.e., 4 grams/day), and avoidance of drying activities such as fans over beds, long computer use without breaks and the like. Restasis or punctal plugs may also help. The best healer in the situations if often time.
Under-correction for left eye?
Right eye better than left after LASIK
Jul 17, 2015
I’d need to see the results of your left eye measurements to know for sure, but you may benefit from an enhancement. I perform these not before 3 months and when the vision has completely stabilized.Your left preop prescription was fairly large, and this does increase the chance of needing enhancement by a small margin. Slight devistions from intended results are generally caused by slight variability in tissue response to the laser rather than measurement errors.
Am I a good candidate for LASIK?
LASIK for high myopia
Jul 11, 2015
I don’t recommend LASIK for you. Your best procedure would be an ICL (implantable contact lens) or a refractive lens exchange, depending on your age.
Can LASIK cure my lazy eye?
LASIK for eye that turns in?
Jun 29, 2015
No LASIK will not help the eye turning in, termed esotropia. The good news is that strabismus surgery could help your ocular alignment
