Need advice: PRK for high myopia with thin corneas – worth doing if I’ll still be left at -2 to -3?
I’m considering PRK and would love to hear from people who have been in a similar situation.
My current prescription is:
Right eye: -9.00
Left eye: -7.50
My corneal thickness is around 490 microns.
The surgeon says they do not recommend correcting me all the way to 0 because that would require removing too much corneal tissue. Instead, they are suggesting a more conservative treatment that would leave me with approximately -2 to -3 D of myopia.
I am not interested in ICL and would prefer PRK if I go ahead with surgery.
For those who had PRK and were intentionally left with some residual myopia:
Were you happy with the outcome?
How functional is vision at -2 to -3 D without glasses?
Do you still wear glasses most of the time?
Looking back, would you do it again?
Also, does this recommendation sound reasonable given my prescription and corneal thickness?
I’d appreciate any experiences, advice, or things I should ask my surgeon before making a decision.
