Lasik eligibility and potential risks
My central corneal thickness of left eye is 491 and right eye is 488 microns. Power in left eye is -5 spherical and -1.5 cylindrical, axis 180 and power in right eye is -5.75 and cylindrical -0.75, axis 05. Does this fall under lasik eligibility requirements? Or are there any other equivalent treatments better suited for my eyes? I was recommended Femto lasik followed by C3R. Would that mitigate risks associated with thin cornea?
