Help! i cannot wear contact lenses because the optic zone is too small for my eyes. what are my options?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: This is a rare complaint. You can try glasses. LASIK or PRK may help, but they have limits to their optical zone as well. Clear lens replacement with an intraocular lens and ICL are potential options. First you need a visit with a good ophthalmologist to verify your problem and discuss solutions in person. Good Luck!
