C3R issue in eye

2022-08-30 08:35:16
Went to eye hospital just to check my power to wear specs.I don't wear any specs nor checked my power earlier. Doctor suggested to take a scan and later confirmed to proceed with C3R surgery for both eyes.That too within two months. Doctor mentioned that normal power is 500 and I have 419 currently.Lesser than 300, is considered critical. Should I proceed with a surgery or take a second opinion? I am only 24years and went to eye hospital just to check my power. But unfortunately came to know about this C3R issue. Please let me know about your opinion?

You have mentioned corneal thickness, not the spectacle number. Perhaps you are having Keratoconus for which you have been advised Corneal cross linkage procedure. Please go back to your Doctor and clear your doubts.
