I live in a city where no doctors offer Contoura vision surgery, so I'd have to fly elsewhere to get it done. But I'm not sure if I'm even a good candidate for it I don't want to travel all that way just to find out I can't get the procedure. Here are my details: RE sph -1.75 cyl -1.60 axis 15 VA 20/20 LE sph -1.50 cyl -1.25 axis 7 VA 20/20 IPD 69 My eye pressure is healthy, I have very mild dry eyes (not severe), and I've been diagnosed with astigmatism and myopia. Could I possibly be a candidate for Contoura vision?

I have a power of 9 with slightly stronger vision in my right eye. My glasses are really heavy and thick, making me uncomfortable and less confident in daily life practically blind without them. I'm unsure if LASIK surgery would even help my case. What options do I have to improve my vision without relying on such heavy glasses?

refractory corrections and visual acuity tests are advised.
