As you know, your corneas are extremely thin. Patients with thin corneas present an increased risk for the postoperative complication known as ectasia, or destabilization of the structure of the cornea. Your prescription is mild, and does not require much corneal tissue to be removed (which works in your favor). If you were to have laser vision correction, I would strongly advise against LASIK, even using IntraLase; rather, I would consider a surface ablation treatment such as LASEK (also known as PRK or epi-LASIK). By not making a flap, the surgeon is not working as deep within the cornea and the risk of ectasia is less. However, there is little to no data out there regarding LASEK on exceptionally thin corneas, and the risk of ectasia. I have done cases such as yours with surface ablation and have never had a case of ectasia in any of them; we are talking dozens of cases though, not thousands (a small sample size).
