Hello
A. For steep cornea, there are chances of flap complications with microkeratome Lasik....you may opt for femtosecond laser
B. Smile is also good option
You may go for smile or femtosecond laser ( blade free Lasik)
Chances of corneal ectasia are less as you have thick cornea
Chances of under and overcorrection are not much different between two procedures
Chance of attaining 6/6 vision is 96%
Intermittent exotropia will not affect Lasik surgery
