ICL vs LASIK for High Power : Corneal Thickness, Tests & Cost

Based on your spectacle power of around -6.5 and a corneal thickness of approximately 480 microns, careful evaluation is required before selecting the appropriate vision correction procedure. In such cases, LASIK may not be the safest option due to relatively thin cornea, as it requires adequate thickness for safe reshaping. A more suitable alternative could be ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens), which does not involve corneal tissue removal and is often preferred for higher power or thinner corneas.

Before finalizing the treatment, a detailed eye examination including corneal topography, pachymetry, and other measurements is essential. If you are using contact lenses, you should discontinue them for a few days prior to testing, as they can affect corneal shape and results.

Since you already have some reports, I would recommend sharing them during consultation so we can assess your eye condition thoroughly and advise the safest and most effective treatment option for you.
