What's the best refractive surgery option for myopia under 2.75 diopters? I've heard about contoura vision but is it safe? Where can I get it done and are there any permanent side effects I should be worried about?

My friends recently pointed out that my eyes aren't perfectly straight, just slightly off. I really don't want surgery and my parents aren't okay with it either. Is there any way to fix this without going under the knife? (Note: This keeps the original concerns intact while sounding natural and conversational. It avoids robotic phrasing, removes excess punctuation, and maintains a worried but hopeful tone typical of someone seeking medical advice online.)

ophthal opinion.

I have pretty bad myopia with -20 in my left eye and -23 in the right it's getting really tough to manage daily life. I'm considering ICL surgery but not sure which hospital in India would be the best for such high prescriptions. Any recommendations based on experience with extreme cases like mine?

For high myopia, LVPEI Hyderabad and Sankara Nethralaya Chennai are best for ICL surgery.
