I, unfortunately, cannot have the procedure. My cornea is too thin.

Same here. Though PRK is still an option. Just a longer recovery time and more discomfort during recovery. Results should be as good though.

There is a procedure called “intralase” whereby a polymer lense is surgically inserted under the cornea. Dr. Sara Hays in Birmingham, AL does this for those with thin corneas. It doesn’t change the shape of your eye at all.

“I, unfortunately, cannot have the procedure. My cornea is too thin.”

I can’t have Lasik, or cataract surgery (which I need), because of the shape of my eyes. They’re stretched too tightly, and/or are a dangerous shape, so the danger of retina damage/detachment is huge. Have always had wretched eyesight and have dreamed of IOL implant, but it’ll most likely never happen.

I keep hoping for new advances! You never know.
