Will asymmetry in optic nerves affect my LASIK procedure?

Doctor's Answer

Hi Moi

Absolutely not. Asymmetry in the optic nerves are due to many reasons, most of them benign.

These include normal anatomical variations, differences in the degree of your myopia / refractive error or other ocular / retinal pathology that is unrelated to the success of LASIK.

You should have a frank and detailed discussion with your LASIK surgeon about the cause of this asymmetry in appearance of your optic nerve.

Best of luck with your procedure!
