If I am not suitable for LTK then is there an alternative?
Yes. Intra-Ocular Lenses (IOL) or Implantable Contact Lenses (ICL) and Conductive Keratoplasty (CK) are good alternatives. In fact, CK has largely replaced this procedure.
Your surgeon will assess your suitability for a laser eye procedure make a decision based upon that. If he/she feels that you are not suitable then he/she will recommend alternatives.
