Operation suggestion
I had power in eyes as -9 & - 9.5 in eyes.. power didn't change for 6 years.. one hospital they suggested lasik and smile 2 years ago... in another hospital lasik prk not suggested and asked to go for ICL. When I asked about smile , they said we didn't have that operation kindly go for others.. reports also they didn't give us..
Smile is possible?.. he said lasik is not possible because of the remaining amount of cornea thickness in it and we have no one to comment about in smile...

ICL Will be most suitable at your age. Of course you will have to get eligibility test before that.

ICL is indeed a better option and the clarity of vision and happiness amongst patients is remarkable. Lasik and smile weakens your cornea if u have such high power.. go for ICL...
