I would think PRK would be more of an option than LASIK, due to the keratome not being used. That’s a question you’ll have to ask the surgeon.
What do you think? Answer below!
The surgeon will be very hesitant as complications may arise. The surgeon will decide on a case by case basis depending on your individual factors. You will have to consult a surgeon and have an assessment for the answer to this question.
most eye drs would not consider doing laser corrective surgery if you have glaucoma cuz there is a risk that your pressure would become high and you could go blind. as long as glasses and/or contacts re working for you then they don’t want to risk your eyesight.
