Question Title: Thinness of cornea and reading issues

I have recently been evaluated for lasik surgery. The results indicate that I can only have the suregery once due to the thinness of my cornea.
Will the surgery put me at greater risk of needing a cornea implant at a future date?
Is the thinness of my cornea related to my age (54) the color of my eyes (blue) or my level of nearsightedness?
I presently wear contacts that allow me to both read and see. While I understand reading is related to a muscle and is different than nearsightedness, why is it not possible to undercorrect the less dominant eye similar to the contact process?
I have been warned that I will need reading glasses, that I could have a halo effect and I drive and that the process may not bring my vision accuity to the level it is at with glasses. Is that unique to the thinness of my cornea or is that a general warning?
Thank you for you help.

I am not sure if I understand the concept that your cornea is so thin that you can only have the surgery once. If indeed your cornea is so thin you should not have the surgery because there is always the possiblity that you may need a enhancement. Most corneas whether near sighted or far sighted are in a general range. The worst case scenario, you may need a corneal transplant. No relation to the color of your eyes. The risks quoted were all the standard risks.

It is possible that they could make one eye your reading eye and the other your distance eye. You would need to make sure you are comfortable with this visually before proceeding. You need to discuss all of these issues with your doctor.
