Dr Rishi Mohan

New Delhi

Q: Kindly enlighten me if corneal grafting can be done to get normal vision for an extremely high myopic(>-12 D) and high astigmatic person in case other surgeries like LASIK are not suitable or fail.

A:Corneal grafting is not a refractive procedure and is not done unless there is corneal disease such as Kerotocunus.
