There are many types of eye surgeries and refractive surgeries that can be done for myopia and all are relatively safe when done in the hands of an experienced ophthalmologist/refractive surgeon. Which surgery that would be best would depend upon several factors including your age, the amount of myopia present, is there any associated astigmatism present, your visual needs associated with your job, lifestyle, and hobbies, what is your corneal thickness, and are there any other visual/eye issues? Some of these surgeries include LASIK, PRK, and Refractive Lens Exchange.

If you are interested in this surgical option, please see an eye doctor/ophthalmologist/refractive surgeon so that they can assess you fully and provide you your visual options. Good luck and best wishes.
