Femto Lasik ( lasik xtra)
My cornea thickness:
Left - 505 ( -3.75)
Right - 498 (-3.25)
Initially i was told i have a mild forme fruste keratoconus, during 6 yrs of constant consultation, there is NO progression of keratoconus.
I was told that i can undergo for a procedure called FemtoSecoundLasik + cxl in one shot for spects removal.
I want to know , how much corneal tissue will removed during the procedure. Are there any risks involved in it ?
Hello
This is advised to prevent corneal ectasia after lasik.
Corneal tissue ablation varies from machine to machine and also depends on type of lasik chosen like it is more with customised lasik .
If you really have keratoconus then there is risk of ectasia after lasik
