I am considering having a laser vision correction surgery in your clinic. However, I had a qualifying examination in a different city less than a month ago. Initially, there were no contraindications to the procedure, but the doctor told me that my refractive error (over -11 dioptres) cannot be corrected to 0 dioptres due to the fact that my cornea is too thin. I would like to know if my current positive qualification results allow me to undergo the laser vision correction procedure in your centre. I do not expect my vision defect to be corrected to 0 dioptres. Even if it can be corrected only to some extent, at least the refractive error will be milder.

In the case of such severe refractive error and already diagnosed excessively thin cornea, we ask the pa-tients to send us the complete medical documentation from the previous qualifying examination. Then, after familiarising themselves with the documentation, our ophthalmic surgeons can preliminarily assess whether we have a correction method suitable for correcting this kind of refractive error with such corneal parameters.

In order for the surgeon to fully address your situation, it will be necessary to conduct a full qualifying examination, during which they will perform their own measurements, and they potentially suggest an alternative form of correction, more suitable in your case.
