Looking for ICL alternatives

2022-11-25 18:29:38
Is ICL is my only option, or are there any alternatives? I have -4 D Spherical  -2.5 Cylindrical in left eye and -8 D Spherical and -2 Cylindrical in right eye. My cornea thickness is 544 and 537 respectively. I've been advised ICL by my doctor. But I wanted to know if there are other options too, since I'm seeking a job in defence forces. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi  , ICL would be used , other methods are there 1) femto lasiks ( FLAP RAISING PROCEDURE WITH LASER IN CORNEA) Conclusion - if u go for femto lasiks mild power  correction glasses would be needed , it has flattening of cornea and if u go for ICL method open procedure, too and has its own complications too (BETTER DISCUSS WITH UR DOCTOR FOR THE CHOICE OF FEMTO LASIKS TOO)
