LASIK is not suitable for patient with  thin corneas and a refractive error over -8.0D /-10.0D. The thickness of the cornea isn’t relevant for the EYECRYL Phakic procedure and myopias ranging from -0.5D up to can be treated. It is a reversible procedure which means that for any reason and at any moment, the lens can be removed, and you get back to your original eyesight condition.

Once taken into operation room, it usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes per eye. However, you may will have to report a few minutes or hours prior to the procedure for preparations and may will have to stay for a few minutes or hours after the procedure to be under observation.

Usually because of the effect of the surgical procedure, immediately after the surgery, you may feel a little blurriness in vision. But after a few hours, you will be able to see clearly. This period may get stretched for a day or two. This can be explained by your consulting surgeon.
