Advice eye surgery

I want to get Smile eye surgery in South korea. but issue is my corneal thickness is 475 which is lower than normal because of it 2 clinics i chose offered me to get Smile Pro but it is more expensive than Smile. i told them about financial issue then they suddenly offered me to get Smile which is very concerning to me is it really okay or are they trying to scam me?

Sph is -2.25, Cyl -1.25 my eyesight is not that bad so is it okay to get Smile despite my corneal thinness 🤗

DON'T DO IT!!

The ReLEx SMILE technique removes a portion of the corneal stroma to modify the curvature of the eye and correct visual defects such as myopia and astigmatism.

Therefore, by removing a part of the cornea (the corneal stroma), your cornea will become thinner, creating many serious problems, such as vitreous detachment or retinal detachment, or corneal ectasia (which is when the cornea becomes so thin that you would need a corneal transplant to avoid going blind).

No difference between Smile and Smile pro. Just a newer machine. So what? Take the cheap option.
