Based on the information you provided you are definitely eligible to be considered for a PRK enhancement. This is not to say that it would be a good idea as there are many other factors that can only be determined after an examination. You should find a refractive surgeon near you who DOES NOT ADVERTISE ON THE RADIO OR BILLBOARDS. Stay away from "high volume" and "discount" refractive surgery centers.
thank you for your advise.how much is the risk to getting ectasia in my case after prk enhancement?
