My cornea thickness is 457 in right eye and 458 in left eye. My Powers: Right SPH -8.0, CYL -0.75, Left SPH -3.0, CYL -1.25. Am I eligible for relex/LASAK/Flapless surgery? Which is the best option of refractive surgery for me? I am very much concerned about stromal bed. I don't want a surgery at a risk of my eyes strength and corneal instability. My cornea topography monometry all other results are normal. Eye health is good. No other complications.
