A cyst on your eye, especially if it's a conjunctival cyst or chalazion (eyelid cyst), doesn't always require treatment, especially if it's small and not causing symptoms. Depending on its size, location, and if it's causing any issues, treatment options include observation, lubricating eye drops, steroid eye drops, draining the cyst, or surgical removal

I'm considering Lasik surgery and have a high spherical number around 7 with a bit of cylindrical correction at 1. My cornea thickness is over 540 in both eyes. With these numbers, which Lasik option would work best for me Blade Lasik, Bladeless Lasik, or Contoura Vision? I'm a little unsure about the differences and which one would be safest and most effective for my case.
