it's not safe for you to get any procedure that is cutting as that requires the surgeon to increase the pressure in your eye so much to make that cut that you might get a retinal detachment. So no LASIK or Bladeless LASIK or IntraLase or femptosecond

it would be safe to do a surface ablation as there's no cutting so as a surgeon I wouldn't have to increase your eyec
