My cornea thickness is 410 microns and I'm considering C3R eye surgery. Is this thickness enough for the procedure or do I need to meet specific minimum requirements? I'm a bit worried about whether my eyes are suitable for it.

A cornea thickness of 410 microns may not be suitable for C3R surgery. While C3R can be performed with thinner corneas, it's crucial to maintain a minimum corneal thickness after the procedure to avoid complications like ectasia. Generally, a minimum stromal thickness of 330 microns is recommended.

I'm considering Lasik surgery and have a high spherical number around 7 with a bit of cylindrical correction at 1. My cornea thickness is over 540 in both eyes. With these numbers, which Lasik option would work best for me Blade Lasik, Bladeless Lasik, or Contoura Vision?
