ICL is an intra ocular surgery so has its own pros and cons, -2D of myopia is considered a low to moderate refractive error and often doesnt need an intra ocular surgery for cosmetic correction. Kindly review with your ophthalmologist for the best option for your cosmetic correction for glasses. Best to trust your surgeons decision if you trust the surgeon.

Hi.
To answer your first question , yes You Can . You can get ICL done for -2 myopia. LASIK and SMILE are safe as well if your corneal parameters are within normal limits.
ICL has some advantages over LASIK like slightly better visual quality and contrast sensitivity. But the downside is ICL is an intraocular procedure , sp comes with the RARE but possible complications of intraocular surgery like cataract .No PERMANENT complications as such.
You have to make a choice for yourself after weighing the pros and cons.
Next Steps
consult and clear all doubts with a refractive surgery specialist

See it depends on your pentacam.
Icl and lasik are safe most depending on status of eye, corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth.
