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?

My eye power is really high and I'm 28. Is LASIK surgery safe for me? I'm worried about the risks but really want to get rid of my glasses as soon as possible. Can you suggest if it's a good option for me?

However if there are fluctuations in eye power then there is a possibility of some recurrent eye power even after the LASIK surgery. Therefore it is important to ensure that the eye power is stable for the last 1-2 years before planning LASIK surgery
