CONTOURA LASIK is a good option. But test your eyes for fitness for the same. A much more advanced technology better than LASIK is SMILE. It’s minimally and least invasive with fastest recovery time. Please consult about these options to any ophthalmologist in person. You can schedule an appointment online for any doubts or counselling regarding these procedures.
