You need a careful eye exam and pachymetry test to find out your corneal thickness. If the cornea is thick enough, lasik may be possible. Otherwise can do implantable contact lens to remove the entire number or do a Lasik and leave a small number behind. Maskati Eye Clinic Oppposite Charni road rly station, east, Mumbai
