Appreciate the thread and your contributions Knut!
I am planning on getting corrective eye surgery this year and have been to a couple of clinics here in Calgary for consultations.
The first one told me I was a good candidate for Custom Wavefront Lasik because I had good cornea thickness and touchups but the second informed me I was not eligible for Lasik and I can only do PRK/lens implants because my cornea isn't thick enough...
The second location had an optometrist I could speak to whereas the first one didn't.
Just wondering is it because one offers custom wavefront and the other doesn't? Or is there going to a chance if I go with the first clinic the surgeon will go over my tests on the day of surgery and say I'm actually not eligible for Lasik?
I see the pros and cons of both Lasik and PRK and I'm still debating it internally but I'm just surprised I got two very conflicting results.
Do you personally have a recommendation on the clinic / surgeon to go to? Feel free to DM if you don't want to shill in public!
