Brief Answer:
Yes, you should go for a cesarean section to prevent undue complications

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I've noted all your details and the attached reports.

Yes you should go for a planned cesarean section. Your cornea is very thin and may not be able to tolerate extreme pressure changes in body during labor. Giving rise to unnecessary complications.

Cesarean section is a good and safe alternative in your case.

Thanks!
