Cornea Thickness

2017-01-06 15:16:32
I have done initial check up for lasik operation and in the report doctor had found that Cornea thickness was 470 micron. So they suggested me that You can not do lasik operation because your cornea thickness is not enough , ideally it should be 500 micron and above So my question is , am i able to do lasik operation ? Please suggest me. @Dr. Meeta Mungale : Spectacle power is 2.25 in both eyes and i am not using contact lens.
