Corneal thickness is one of the most important measurements taken before laser eye surgery. In this video, Dr Fadi Kherdaji of EuroEyes London explains how detailed corneal mapping helps surgeons understand the strength, shape and overall health of the cornea. These measurements are considered alongside your prescription and wider eye health to determine whether laser vision correction is appropriate for you.
A thinner cornea does not automatically mean that treatment is impossible, but it may influence which procedure is recommended. Advanced diagnostics allow Dr Fadi Kherdaji and the EuroEyes London team to plan treatment around the individual eye, whether that means LASIK, SMILE Pro, PRK/LASEK or a non-laser option such as an implantable contact lens. This personalised approach helps protect the cornea while working towards the best possible visual outcome.
