Laser : Laser resurfacing of the cornea (lasik, prk, etc) are absolutely contraindicated for keratoconus and may significantly worsen that condition. Icl may be a good option for you.

It : It sounds like you may have a problem called keratoconus. If that is the case, you should not have any surgery that involves changing the shape of your cornea. The implantable contact lens is the way to go. Find a certified surgeon in phoenix and go for a consultation for this surgery. The cornea is untouched, and a lens implant is gently inserted in your eye to correct your vision. This would be safe for the problem that you described. More info here:.
