I'm myopic (right -5.00, left -5.75).  During a routine eye examination,
my Optometrist casually remarked that I would not be a good candidate
for refractive surgery because my corneas are unusually flat.  He explained
that refractive surgery corrects myopia by flattening the cornea but my
corneas are already flat.  This makes sense to me but I would like to
know what other knowledgeable people think about this.  Perhaps there
are some special refractive surgery techniques that are applicable to
myopics with flat corneas.

Thanks in advance for your comments.
