With power of -7D, LASIK is possible if corneal thickness allows; consult for topography‚Äîoptions like SMILE or ICL may be better in high myopia.

I'm 20 years old and wear high-index glasses. I'm trying to figure out which eye surgery would be better for me LASIK blade-free or ReLEx SMILE. Can you help me understand the pros and cons of each? I'm a bit worried about making the right choice.

Doctor will perform few test like pentacam test, schirmer test These tests will guide the type of Lasik In case of high number,if Lasik is not possible then ICL is best option
