Not yet. It is simply too soon to tell what your result will be. Try to
be patient.

Yes, but usually only in cases where the preoperative corneal thickness is
such that a thick cap would cause the laser ablation to come dangerously
close to the back surface of the cornea. Most flaps are made as 160
microns, some at 130 microns.
> 3. Will the flap ever heal anywhere close to normal?
Though it is difficult to say for sure without seeing your eye, from what
you describe it probably will heal normally or very close to it. Time
will tell.
> 4. Will my sight in this eye be correctable to 20/40 or better?
Most likely yes.

It really depends on what your vision becomes with and without correction,
and what residual amount of myopia and/or astigmatism you have. Too soon
to tell.
> 6. Is it too soon to tell?
Yes. Really.
> 7. Should I have any other concerns?
Yes, I do not think it is appropriate for a surgeon to perform LASIK and
not see the patient personally the next day.

1. Should I be worried? Maybe. Too soon to tell. The flap problems I
have seen have primarily been related to a patient flinching. Very
uncommon. I recall an oval flap but I believe the thickness was OK. The
result of this was good.
2. The surgeon said that some surgeons prefer a thin flap. Is this
correct?
Yes, but it is planned in advance and usually used in high myopes in
case they need a tune up (regression) as to allow more corneal stromal
thickness to work with just in case. I do not understand. Was it implied
a thinner flap was planned for one eye? Thes thinner flaps are more
difficult to re lift and can be painful in the proces, though not
unobtainable.
3. Will the flap ever heal anywhere close to normal?
??
4. Will my sight in this eye be correctable to 20/40 or better?
??
5. Will lifting the flap in the future (in the case of an enhancement)
be not desireable?
refer to #2
6. Is it too soon to tell?
Probably
7. Should I have any other concerns?
Important to get wrinkles/and or pockets out to allow best chance of
good result.
Any help or opinions will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I hate to say I didn’t tell you so, but for my own eyes I used actual
corneal refractive
experience of the surgeon with LASIK as one of my main selection
criteria. Of course the best laser, team experience, pre op technology
etc were weighed in.
