Done c3r for my right eye 6 yrs back.. Vison is stable till now.. Left eye vision is good and no sight. Recently done the eye test.. Left eye vision is -0.5, and they ask me to go for c3r for left eye now.. Is it a valid one? and recommended for surgery for just -0.5 sight? ~They did a scan and said it is started slightly for left eye also.. It's good to for surgery..
