Question

My spherical power is 4.00 in both eyes and has been stable for a year, but now I have a new cylindrical power of 0.50. Should I hold off on LASIK surgery because of this change?

A new cylindrical power of 0.50 after a year of stable spherical power may not necessarily require you to hold off on LASIK surgery. Many surgeons consider a 0.50 diopter change stable enough for LASIK.

I need to get surgery to correct my vision but my cornea is thin and my power is 7.00 so LASIK isn't an option. My doctor recommended SMILE but I've read about some drawbacks. I also came across Contoura Vision which seems better. With a thin cornea, which one should I go for? I don't want ICL.
