LASIK or ICL or Refraxtive lens excahnge? what would be the best so;ution?

Question

My eyes sight is -10.50 both eyes and little Astigmatism. what would be the best solution? what are the side effect? Pros and Cons

Thank you so much, I very appreciate.

Answer 1

-10.50 would  normally be beyond what is advised for Lasik.

Lasek may go to higher limits:  it will depend on corneal thickness and other factors.

The difference between an anterior chamber implant, ("Insertable Contact Lens" is becoming the slightly euphemistic popular term) and refractive lens exchange is that the first preserves accommodative ability, but leaves the possibility of cataract developing later in life, which would require  further surgery, while the second pre-empts cataract surgery, but does not preserve accommodative ability.  

(Yes, there are bifocal and "accommodating " implants, but that's a separate area for compromise and careful judgment.)

That matters little if accommodation has largely disappeared.  At 51, I'm considering having my Rx, which averages -10.00, treated by lens exchange in roughly another four years.

(I'll be aiming at a residual Rx of about -2.25, but my world is very closework oriented.  Distance requirements are the minority ones.)

Answer 2

Lasik eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.

They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
