Hello,
I am 22 years old and have always wanted to have laser eye surgery. I wear soft contacts with a -6.00 rx in my left eye and -7.00 rx in my right eye. I do not have astigmatism. Which type of laser eye surgery is best for me?

If not, get one. Some centers do it for free, others charge a small fee. They will do tests on your corneal thickness, pupil size(if not, ask them to), refraction, topography, etc. You may or may not be a candidate. Your glasses pescription(do you know what it is?) would be higher(-7.5, -8.75 possible) than your contact pescription so surface ablation might be out. How are you getting along in contacts? Ive also always wanted lasik but now that I know about it, I may not be a good candidate due to my huge pupils, mild dry eyes and mild presbyopia. Im -5 in glasses(-4 in contacts but I almost never wear em, they arent comfortable)

If you are interested in determining whether or not you are an appropriate candidate for LASIK or advanced surface ablation - you should consider a refractive surgery consultation.
I have lectured with both Randy Epstein and Parag Majmudar - who are Chicago Cornea consultants.
I have also worked with Bruce Larson - who specializes in Epi-LASIK.
Best of luck
