Laser surgery for correcting vision

2021-01-18 14:10:44
Hi.. I have myopia with high power and I wanted to do laser treatment to correct the vision. I have consulted two doctors. One doctor diagnosed that I have some weak spots in retina , so he suggested me to do laser procedure for retina first and then go with lasik treatment. But the other suggested me to do SMILE procedure for correcting vision and he didn't check the retina Heath. What should I do now??

Hi.. Detailed eye check, including retina should be done before any refractive procedure.if there is a weak spot in retina, should be lasered. If too confusing, take another opinion.

The weak spots in the retina should be lasered first before going ahead with LASIK for sure.
