LASIK surgery
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
