Would Intra-Lasik work for me with farsightedness, astigmatisn and cataracts?
Intra-Lasik creates a corneal flap that is uniform thickness from center to edge (like a manhole cover). Because of this there is less chance of flap slippage or wrinkling if accidentally rubbed or bumped during healing after surgery. Also, because the resulting flap is uniform thickness across the diameter, the IntraLASIK is ideal for far-sightedness, high amounts of nearsightedness, large pupils, moderate to high astigmatism, and small corneal diameters where producing a large enough flap for treatment far into the periphery is critical. However, existing eye conditions such as cataracts would make you a poor candidate for any type of Lasik surgery. You could have the surgery done, but your vision would be limited to the size of the cataract. That’s a problem you’d need to address first. A Lasik surgeon could diagnose you and recommend appropriate treatment. Good luck!!
