Talking about Myopia - I have it (~2 and ~3 degrees, so not particularly bad), I am in my mid 40s, and I have been considering a surgery to fix it. Let's assume that for this particular case, money is not an issue.
There's a ton of different types of surgery available [0] to fix refractive errors.
Besides Lasik, which I think is the most popular but not necessarily the best, there's at least two other options out there:
1) Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) - 1st gen
2) Laser-assisted stromal in situ keratomileuses (LASIK) - 2nd gen
3) Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) - 3rd gen
However, I am not fully convinced that SMILE is absolutely by far the best; and it's not easy to find the right provider (outside the US).
Anyone with experience or knowledge that could help navigate this mess?
