I'm planning to get Lasik eye surgery soon but I'm really confused about which type to choose. There are so many options like SMILE, iFS, and others, and I want to make sure I pick the safest and most suitable one for my eyes. My current prescription is RE 7.50 SPH 1.50 CYL 180 AXIS Vision 66 and LE 8.00 SPH 0.75 CYL 180 AXIS Vision 66. Can you help me understand which Lasik technology would work best for my high power and give me the best results? I'm a bit worried about safety and long-term effects.

I have thin corneas and can't get LASIK, so my doctor recommended SMILE but I've heard it has some drawbacks. Now I'm seeing Contoura Vision might be better what's the best option for someone with thin corneas like me?

Contoura Vision needs sufficient corneal thickness; SMILE is preferred in thinner corneas‚Äîchoose based on topography and surgeon‚Äôs advice.
