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.
