Brief Answer:
Food and medicine will help in providing in good eye health.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.


I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having refractive error in the form of myopia of -7 dioptres.

The treatment for this is by the use of spectacles and contact lenses as you are doing now.
The refractive power becomes stable after the age of 18-20 years. Since you are 23 now this refractive power will not usually show any further variation.

You can correct this completely by refractive laser surgeries like LASIK. This is the only curative treatment for refractive errors.
No medicine can correct this problem.

Use of foods rich in vitamin A like carrots, green leafy vegetables and fish if you are non vegetarian will help in providing good eye health but this will not decrease the refractive power. Similarly medicines like vitamin A supplements, antioxidants will help in providing good eye health.


Hence food and medicine will help in providing good eye health, but if you want to avoid use of spectacles or contact lenses, then only option available is refractive laser surgeries like LASIK.
Hope this information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards

Laserr surgeries have minimal or nil side effects.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for the follow up question.

Laser surgeries like LASIK are one of the safest and effective surgery for correction of refractive error.
The side effects are minimal or nil.

You need to undergo preoperative tests like measurement of corneal thickness, corneal topography, tear film tests and with normal tests the side effects are almost nil.

Answered by Dr. Dadapeer K (1 hour later)
Brief Answer:
The procedure takes about 10 minutes for each eye.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for the follow up question.

Laser refractive surgeries are associated with minimal discomfort in the post operative period. Within 1-3 days you will be fine. The procedure takes about 10 minutes for each eye.
A rest of 1 week is advised and after one week you can resume back your out door activities. The eye drops need to be used for 4-6 weeks.


Hope this information is helpful to you.
