The alternative that we have thought of is ICL - embedding the Contact lens into the eyes permanently. Can you please advise which would be better?
Hi XXXXXXX
In my opinion you should go in for LASIK procedure to correct the refractive error.
You seem to be a suitable canditate for it having a stable numbers for an year and more than 18 yrs of age. The doctor shall first do the keratometry to assess the thickness of cornea before he says you what is expected after the LASIK.
There are relatively no side effects for LASIK if done by technically sound surgeon.
All the best.
