EVO ICL. Or even pinned ICL. Just got it recently, would recommend.
LASIK/SMILE/etc were never and are not safe. At least ICL is fully reversible.
Note that is the current version (EVO) I’m referring to, not the older (Visian) which still involved irreversible steps.

- dghlsakjg 1y agoI wouldn't say that cutting a hole in your eyeball and putting a foreign object inside is 'safe'. Perhaps safer than LASIK, but I have a hard time believing any surgeon that would claim there are no risks.
- Pooge 1y ago> LASIK/SMILE/etc were never and are not safe. At least ICL is fully reversible. Citation needed. All people I know and feedback I've heard that took LASIK or LASEK have said that it was a live-changing surgery. I myself underwent LASEK and have nothing bad to say. I've never heard that it was unsafe. Quite the opposite, actually. Then again, when I hear feedback from Americans it sounds like a different world. I live in a wealthy and medically-respected European country, though.
