The Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) is probably the choice to give you the highest quality of vision for such a big prescription. 
The other laser procedures and use of mitomycin are dictated by the depth of the laser treatment. 
When used appropriately Mitomycin is really helpful in avoiding haze.
