Hi,
I have high myopia. I have had myopia from a very young age of 4. My right eye power is around -16 and left eye is around -10.
I was tested by a lasik doctor and he said lasik OD is not possible on my right eye due to high myopia and insufficient corneal thickness. However he said he would recommend bilateral STAAR ICL's with LRI's OU or possible LASIK only OS. He said left eye lasik is possible though.
I have been living on, wearing contact lenses for the past 9 years. I have had no issues. I wear contact lenses during the mornings and evening i switch back to glasses. So completely at ease at the moment.
Since lasik is not possible, and being a person who does not want to take unnecessary risks by opening up the eye for the ICL (would like to have my natural lens intact), is there an option, i can just continue on , with my present life of contact lenses ? Is correction really necessary for the long run ? (considering i am only 25)
Is there any issue i will have, if i dont correct my eye now and just live life ?
(My priority is not throwing away spectacles/contact lenses and surgeries, but only long term healthy vision)
