Can people with myopia have rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Asked By:ann555444 in California, CA

In my country some docs say that people with high myopia (-5) cannot have rhinoplasty as it will make the vision much worse. Is this reality? I am tslking about fixing a high bridge nose, making it lower. Please see the photo.
