Question

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—Contoura needs more thickness; ICL is most precise but invasive.
