I had the prelasik screening, and turns out I've got a bad combo of thin corneas and poor eyesight in the right eye; it's -7.25, and 489 at thinnest pt. The Dr. says ladar is a possibility, but vision may not be 100% in that eye.
Is this too risky, or too close to the wire? What kind of vision can I expect in that eye if I do go ahead?

those corneas are too thin to even bother with lasik. You could get implantable contacts but I hear its reccomended for myopes even higher than you although they might still comply. Intacs wont help you very much. can you wear contact lenses?
