Is PRK right for me

Is PRK right for me

Hi,

I have a spherical number of R - 3.75, L - 4.00
In December 09 I wanted to have Lasik but my doctor told me that i may have some chances of keratoconus, so a pentacam test was done on 18th Dec 2009 then the doctor told me that test shows i do not have keratoconus at that time but it may occur later so he asked me to wait for about 6-7 months and have another pentacam and then he will decide. Then i have second pentacam test on 27th July 2010, now my doctor told me that keratoconus is not there but i have very thin cornea and it is also steep so i should first have a C3R and then a PRK. Then i visited another doctor who told me that i can have PRK without any need of C3R.
Please advice me what to do. Please have a look at my pentacam results from the link below:

Thanks

We cannot interpret tests, x rays, MRI, CT or pentacam for legal reasons.

I suggest you get a second opinion from a eye MD ophthalmologist that specialize in cornea diease.

Normally C3R is not done unless K conus IS PRESENT.
