Hello dear.
R you sure that you have 7.5d cylinder. If thats true, I would suggest a test" pentacam" to rule out keratoconus.
If keratoconus is ruled out then you can go for toric phakic lens to get rid of glasses.

Hello dear. With this high number (-18d) lasik is not possible but do not get disheartened you can go for phakic lenses which is also permanent procedure but little costly.

Hello. There is no need to worry. You have 3 options to get rid of glasses
1. Contact lens: yes you can use contact lens
2. Lasik laser: doctor will do some tests and if all are normal then go for lasik
3. Phakic iol: if you r not suitable candidate for lasik. Do not loose heart and go for phakic iol
cheers.

I presume your refractive error is -22d. No refractive surgery is feasible such powers. The singular option you have is phakic intraocular implant, wherein a special lens of equivalent power is implanted inside the eye.

unfortunately there are no natural medications to remove spectacles permanently. you can either try contact lenses or plan for refractive lasik laser surgery or phakic implant surgery. you need to visit a refractive surgeon who will guide you further

Minus 12 is a high myopia, in most cases would be ineligible for lasik as residual thickness left will be less, which can cause post lasik ectasia later.
Icl or phakic iol would be a better option.

They are meant to correct distance (or near), different distances, with same IOL and the astigmatism. Your life style, visual needs and the budget decides this. All IOLs today are great. Indian IOLs are also very good. So, get the IOL work station work up done before surgery, and based upon their results your your visual needs you can discuss with your doctor. Monovision is one of the great ways to increase binocular depth of field.

There are many ways to treat this high spectacle number.
First option is by laser, second option is by implantable phakic lens and third option is by refractive lens exchange. You need to contact your eye surgeon to find out what would be most suitable for you.

Hello dear. First of all your number will b stable now. It will not increase.
Second as your number is in + means that you r hypermetrope. So lasik results for this high number r not great.
The only option is contact lens (temporary) or phakic iol (permanent)

After the age of 18 the numbers does not change and so does not the eye-sight.
But instead of contact lenses if you go for a surgery called" clear lens exchange" then definitely the quality of vision will increase as compared to right now.
