[quote=Stradivarius][quote] Stradivarius, About the thick glasses…since you are a doctor, do you have a medical opinion against corrective surgery ? [/quote]
I have nothing against refractive surgery for good candidates. I went for consultation about 9 months ago, and I just don’t qualify for LASIK in one eye (cornea too thin). I do qualify for phakic IOL but since it has only had approval in this country since 2003, I’m not ready to do it yet, personally. But it’s all risk:benefit. If at some point I can’t wear contact lenses comfortably, certainly I would consider it. But for now my eyes are healthy (near-sightedness is not pathology), so I’m not fixing it if it ain’t broke.[/quote]
Though I’m sure you don’t need a non-doctor person asking a doctor person if you considered something……….
Have you considered cornea reshaping? I know of a few folks that had good results with them. I think it’s called Orthokeratology or something like that.
