Hello
Your pachy is 464 and Lasik is not recommended for this thin cornea.
ICL is best option for you
A. ICL is quite safe.No surgery is 100% safe. having said that it is a safe procedure. Your ophthalmologist will perform few tests to check other eye parameters and if all are in normal range then only ICL will be done
B. You can get it done from any ophthalmologist of your choice. All ophthalmologists are good and it's your choice. You can discuss your queries and apprehensions with your doctor.

Considering your pachy readings, ICL surgery will be preferable in your case.
Please consult local ophthalmologist for further evaluation and management
