i'm trying to decide between contoura vision and smile surgery but i'm confused about the side effects and why contoura is considered better even though it's cheaper than smile can you explain which one would be the better option overall

Contoura offers better customization for corneal irregularities; SMILE has less dry eye and no flap. Choose based on your corneal thickness and lifestyle. Consult a refractive surgeon for suitability.

I had ICL surgery 5 years back and lately I've been experiencing really bad dryness in my eyes only at night before bed. I use my laptop for about 9-10 hours daily and tried Refresh tear drops but they don't seem to help much at night. What else can I try to relieve this dryness

Apollo Hospital is best for it.
