I Am -2.25 Diopter in Nearsightness, Should I Get LASIK?

-2.25 is a very easily treatable prescription. 

 

A small LASIK treatment like yours generally leads to the swiftest recovery with the fewest complications.  LASIK with a prescription of -3 or less is typically very easy and routine. I highly recommend it.

 

The SMILE procedure is not yet FDA approved in the US, so I cannot comment on it.

LASIK is an extremely safe and effective treatment for a low amount of nearsightedness such as you have. Assuming you are a good candidate for the procedure, which can be determined by your surgeon, I see no reason why you cannot enjoy independence from glasses and contacts. Numerous studies have been done which confirm the safety and long term accuracy of the treatment.

You probably could have LASIK eye surgery as long as there are no other conditions that would rule it out but you will need a comprehensive eye exam to determine that.  Whether you should have LASIK or not is a personal decision that depends on your willingness to accept the low amounts of risk that are associated with the procedure in order to obtain independence from glasses and contact lenses.  Cost is also an issue to consider as many more people would have LASIK if it were less expensive.

Most people are very satisfied (perhaps 97% or higher).  Very many say it is the best decision in their life.  A small few are not happy and say they should not have had the procedure. 

If you can accept the risks and are a good candidate, then you will likely be very satisfied with LASIK.
