Laser suggestion

2022-03-05 16:23:47
My eye power is -1(RE), -1.5(LE) for last 5 years. My cornea thickness is 440,460microns.i gave test for Lasik. Doctor suggested me to not to proceed. Doctor asked me to visit after 6 months to check whether cornea thiness is by birth or reduced after by time. He gave multivitamine tablets and asked me not to rub my eyes. But I saw in online that prk can be done for people with thin cornea. Can i visit again and ask about prk. As I have low power, is this thickness enough to do prk as 250micron thickness is enough after surgery. i don't want to wear specs or contact lens. Please suggest.Thanks in advance.

Firstly, laser for glasses removal is a cosmetic surgery. I can tell you what I do. Even in the case of slightest of doubt, I refuse laser. It’s better to say sorry before than after. Corneal thickness is not the only criteria. There are many other factors to be looked into.
