Compound number ,having cylinder more than spherical, average minus 7 D,if your pre operative assessment of cornea & retina is healthy & not contradicted for LASIK or Smile, then go for Smile, it is available in India, but everywhere like LASIK.

We need to get a pentacam done to rule out keratoconus and see the corneal pachy.
If all this fine and the refractive error has been stable for a year, Lasik would be a relatively simple and painless procedure.
