Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I have a central corneal thickness of 540 in both eyes. Do you recommend PRK for such corneal thickne
It depends
Jul 30, 2015
It depends on your prescription. For mild to moderate myopia, PRK or LASIK are both reasonable options with a central corneal thickness of 540
Is PRK a Good Treatment For Keratoconus?
Not at this time
Jul 30, 2015
Keratoconus is still a contraindication to PRK, and rightfully so. The risk of corneal ectasia is too high. this may change as new treatment modalities become available, namely collagen crosslinking. But as of this moment (July 2015), PRK for keratoconus is not a good idea.
Pterygium: Can it come back once it’s treated?

consider femtosecond
Jun 5, 2015
PRK and ICL are both options, but you may want to consider having LASIK with a femtosecond-created flap. The femtosecond laser can create a thin flap which should fit your particular parameters. Remember that whichever option you choose, each procedure carries its own unique set of risk factors. Discuss with your ophthalmologist.
I’ve been nearsighted since childhood. Now that I’m in my forties, I’ve developed a degree of farsigh
Presbyopia
Jun 5, 2015
The “farsightedness” you’ve developed is called “presbyopia.” It is the difference between your distance correction and your near correction. Now that you are in your forties, the glasses you need for the distance is different than the glasses you need for reading.
Help me to find my Corneal bed thickness left after LASIK!
I agree with Dr. Magruder and…
Jun 4, 2015
I would add one more parameter–the diameter of the treatment zone also affects depth of treatment
