Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic
I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having corneal thinning following Lasik surgery.
This occurs because of corneal thinning caused by lasik surgery.
This requires treatment by corneal collagen crosslinking procedure.
If this is not treated then it will cause further thinning and further deterioration of vision.
However with treatment results are good with improvement of vision.
Hence I advice you to wait as per advice of your doctor and if it worsens then to undergo corneal collagen crosslinking.
Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
