Based solely on your corneal thickness and prescription, you would not be a good candidate for LASIK or PRK. The amount of tissue removed by the laser would leave your corneas too thin and at risk for serious complications. You may want to look at other surgical options such as refractive lens exchange or implantable contact lens.

More permanent solutions might include: implantable contact lenses or cataract surgery. Talk to your doctor about the pros and cons of each to make the right choice for you.
