Can I undergo PRK surgery if my prescription is -5.5 diopters and -2.75 astigmatism in both eyes?

My prescription is -5.5 diopters and -2.75 astigmatism in both eyes, both eyes have corneal thickness of 480 microns. I do not want to undergo anything other than PRK. I have had two consultations and one doctor recommended ICL, the other said I can have PRK and will have 370 microns of thickness left after surgery. Does this sound correct? How much cornea thickness do I need to correct -8.25 D with PRK?
