ICL or PRK? (Photo)

Question

i have 541 corneal thickness, -7 in both eyes and am 23 years old. which would be the best option for me one doc recommended prk, most of them recommended icl but now i'm cofused.

Emil William Chynn, MD, FACS, MBA · Answer

it would be 100% crazy to get an ICL for -7 if you had a normal topography, so since you said many MDs said to get ICL, i am concluding you have irregular astigmatism so they think you might have FF KC, which one of them probably should have told you, so you don't have to hear that from me;)so you should do a surface ablation, much safer and cheaper than ICL, you can get an old PRK and be in agony for a week or the new LASEK and have no pain whatsoever
