Hi ..
Before Lasik, a detailed check up is done to see of you are a good candidate for it .
Contura is good . You can opt for a famtolasik if you want ..smile is also good, but it is relatively newer technique and has certain limitations, and some benefits ..you will have to discuss with your doctor.
