I have a refractive error of -3 dioptres in my left eye and my corneal thickness is approximately 487 microns. Does it disqualify me from laser vision correction?

Corneal thickness plays a certain role in the qualification for the procedure, but it is not the only decisive factor. What is also important is the value of the refractive error. According to the preliminary estimate, it is possible to carry out the correction with the parameters mentioned above.

Our ophthalmic surgeons have to take precise measurements themselves to accurately assess your eligibility for the surgery, which is why you need to make an appointment for a preliminary qualifying examination in our clinic first. Patients with a thinner cornea, for whom an SBK LASIK procedure is not recommended, can be qualified for a surface method: LASEK or TransPRK (StreamLight).
