Christian had LASIK in Right eye & Phakic Lens in left eye 2 yrs ago for high myopia |
Christian is an avid surfer. We were able to do wavefront guided LASIK with the Intralase to create a thin flap in his right eye (-9D)but his left was too nearsighted (-12D) so we inserted a phakic lens implant 2 years ago. He now has 20/15 vision in the right and 20/12 in the left and is very happy with the quality of vision in both eyes, not favoring one over the other.
Nancy was a LASIK canidate despite her very high myopia, -10 D, because her cornea was thick enough and we used the Intralase which allowed us to create a thin flap and a Visx laser which removes less tissue. Most patiens above -10 D are better candidates for the Staar Visian (ICL) implant rather than LASIK
