Corneal thickness and Lasik

2022-05-08 06:57:49
Hi, My corneal thickness is 544microns and my eye sight is -10. My doctor suggested that I can get Femto Lasik surgery done. My concerns are: 1) Can I go ahead for Femto Lasik considering my high power and corneal thickness? 2) What will be the residual corneal thickness that will remain after undergoing Lasik and is it ok? 3) Any other complications should I be worried about? Please help me
