LASIK surgery

2019-04-02 19:19:15
Hello doctor, I have to get a spectacles removal surgery but because of a thin cornea and my power is -7.00 I cannot have LASIK. So, the doctor suggested SMILE. But now I have read some disadvantages of SMILE. There is one more called Contoura Vision which is considered to be the best. Can you please guide me that with a thin cornea, what should I opt? SMILE or Contoura Vision? I do not want ICL.

Hello Contoura vision is also a form of LASIK. I personally don't advise contoura with low corneal thickness
