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.
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

Your near vision should improve as you adjust to the loss of nearsghtedness. When you were -1.5, your eye could see very well up close without exerting any focusing energy. Now, to see well up close, you need to exert some focusing energy, and you are not used to doing this. At your age, most...
Just to clarify, is your distance eye reading at 20/20? If so, that is definitely clear enough for driving and you should be able to see well in the distance. If you are concerned, you may ask your doctors to check your prescription for any residual prescription. It is still early in your h...
I would recommend waiting until after the surgery however it is best to clarify this with your surgeon.
