A member asked:
I've got thin corneas. will i be qualified for prk lasik surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thin corneas ; LASIK: Thin corneas are not by themselves a reason to not be a candidate for lasik. Many thin cornea patients can have lasik - as long as their corneal topography is normal and their level of myopia and/or astigmatism is relatively low. Your doctor will perform tests to see whether lasik is an appropriate procedure based on many factors. Best of luck!
