Lasic Laser
Hello Sir. My eyesight is weak -7.00 no. I have decided to go through lasic laser to get rid of glasses. But in the pre lasic tests everything else is normal except my eyes have excessive CD ratio. Doctor has said that it has no impact on Lasic laser and there is a risk of glucoma in 40 plus age. I want to know that its safe for going through lasic laser if don't have normal CD ratio?

Hello
C: D ratio is not a reliable parameter...
Sometimes,even normal person may have 0.7:1 ratio and sometimes even 0.3:1 ratio is dangerous
Disc size is more important than this ratio
Sometimes, 0.7 ratio is normal in large disc and sometimes 0.3 is dangerous in small disc
So don't worry about this ratio
Other tests are also important like size of disc, Intraocular pressure, corneal thickness and visual field
I hope this will help you
