View allI 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—choose based on topography and surgeon’s advice.

my left eye has sph 6 and cyl 2.75 while my right eye is sph 5 and cyl 2 can I still get laser surgery to correct my vision
Yes, it's likely you're still a candidate for laser eye surgery (like LASIK) even with your prescription. While your prescription is on the higher end, many procedures can handle prescriptions up to +6 diopters for farsightedness and -12 diopters for nearsightedness, as well as astigmatism up to 6 diopters. However, individual cases can vary, and a consultation with a qualified eye surgeon is crucial for a personalized assessment of your suitability.
