Hello.

In most cases, indeed, set 2 half (segment) of the "flattening" of the cornea and improve visual acuity.

However, there are times when only one intrastromal segment may be needed to stabilize visual functions. Sometimes there are as many as three or two - but on the one hand. It all depends on the condition of the patient's cornea. Especially for you we found these photos.

As for the price of the operation -it all depends on the price policy of the clinic in which you operated. As a rule, the cost does not change, because the major cost is the diagnosis, a surgeon, depreciation femtosecond laser - if implantation is performed by femtolaser.
