Hi all, I did a lasik surgery in Lebanon from 6...

Hi all, I did a lasik surgery in Lebanon from 6 when I was 18 years old. Before doing it I had -8 in the right eye and -9 in the left eye (myophe). Now after it I still don't see as I should, I have -7 in the right eye. And -6 in the left eye (myophe) I really don't know the reason, I did a second eye photo to see if my cornea permit to re-do it, the doctor say that my cornea don't permit to re-do it I have a thin cornea (3 mm).. He offer me to do icl, but really don't know what to do, I'm really sick about this situation. Any advice?

Great review?

Dear its not about where, as an advice be sure which treatment is the best for u.. Depend of how much u have neg in ur eyes and the situation of ur cornea.. So make sure to choice between lasik. Laser or toric icl and as a final word do it but have a clear idea with ur doc.. Good luck

Thank you for the review.  I would recommend getting a couple more opinions before doing anything.
