Some highly nearsighted patients may not have the sufficient amount of corneal thickness to create a flap and then apply the laser which also decreases the corneal thickness as it reshapes the cornea itself.  

Sometimes, doctors can perform surface laser vision correction procedures such as PRK [photorefractive keratectomy], ASA [advanced surface ablation], LASEK or epi-LASIK.  Another option is the implantable contact lens.  The lens can be used to correct vision in highly nearsighted individuals with great results.
