ICL will be my preferred procedure if you are otherwise fit for it. Leaving power in either eye is generally not my preferred option and we will also need to look at your tomography/ topography reports before making final decisions.

William Trattler, MD · Answer

You should speak to your surgeon to see whether you are a candidate for PRK. The advantage of PRK over LASIK in your case is that the procedure is more superficial - so the corneal thickness is less of an issue. Assuming that your corneal shape is normal - your surgeon should be able to correct your vision all the way to 20/20 or better. Again - without knowing other aspects of your eye exam - it is not possible to know if you are a good candidate for laser vision correction. So that would be up to your own surgeonBest regardsBill Trattler, MDMiami, FL
