Depends : There are several options for vision correction surgery, . Laser vision correction (lasik, prk) alters the shape of the cornea to decrease the need for glasses or contact lenses. Lens surgery (cataract, lens exchange or phakic iol) either replaces the natural lens or adds a second lens in order to correct your prescription.

Numerous: There are laser based options (lasik, prk and their variants) and then there are surgical options (icl, cle). Which is best for you depends on the physical characteristics of your eyes. A refractive surgeon is the best doctor to consult.
