i recently got my eyes tested for lasik.my power is 6.75 in left eye and 6.5 in right eye.they said my corneal thickness is 509 so zyoptics is not a better option as it might leave a residual power after the surgery.the doctor suggests intralase is the best option which costs RS 1 lak!
i want to know if this is right as the cost of intralase is too high and i can afford zyoptics..
many thanks for your advice.
ANSWER: Dear SHALINI,
Thanks for asking such elaborate and interesting question
WELL with 509 corneal thickness you can very well undergo LASIK with any machine with either 110 micron flap so simple lasik will definitely do wonders for you

QUESTION: 1. Can you please tell if intralase is better with corneal thickness of 509?
2. At what thickness is intralase preferred?
3. Is the cost of intralase all over 1 lakh?
thanks for your patience.
Answer Dear SHALINI,
Thanks for asking such elaborate and interesting question
well i will always prefer LASIK in case your parameters are fitting into that Otherwise 2nd alternative is always LASEK
only if thickness if less then intralase if preferred
yes cost is more because costly technology is involved
If you any further questions please revert back to me
