  1. Hi, it has been nearly 10 years since your LASEK. How are you doing with your eyes? Do you have halos, dry eyes etc? I did a check for LASIK in one of the eye centres and was informed my myopia is too bad for LASIK (-10D) and also my cornea is a bit too thin. they didn't mentioned anything about LASEK/PRK. Can LASEK be done in my case?
