Am I a candidate for Contoura Vision?
Hello,
In my current city of residence, no doctor performs contoura vision surgery. This means that I'll have to travel _by plane_ to perform it, but I don't know if I'm a suitable candidate or not. I don't want to waste my time travelling back and forth only discover that I'm not a suitable candidate. Please advise me if I'm "possibly" a candidate:
