Hello Sir,

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.
I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having refractive error in the form of myopia and you want to undergo surgical correction of the refractive error.
At your age you can undergo phakic intraocular lens implantation. There are no major side effects of this surgery and it is relatively safe and you can undergo the procedure.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
With regards
