For roles under the B-1 standard, LASIK surgery does not disqualify a candidate, provided they meet the specified vision criteria. Applicants need to ensure that their corrected vision after LASIK adheres to the distance and near vision requirements

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.

With thin cornea, SMILE is safer than LASIK but less accurate for high power‚ÄîContoura needs more thickness; ICL is most precise but invasive.
