I have high myopia with 19 and 14 in both eyes and can't use a computer for more than an hour. I really want to become a computer engineer but I'm worried about my future since my doctor said surgery isn't an option for me. Can you guide me on how to manage my condition while pursuing this career?

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.

I've been struggling with myopia right eye is -2.50 and left eye is -2.75 and I'm considering surgery to get rid of my specs. There are so many options like Contoura Vision, SMILE, ICL, and LASIK, but I'm not sure which one is the best for me. Are there any side effects I should be worried about? Could you explain the pros and cons of each in detail?

Go for bladefree Lasik
