You are young enough that you may want your eyes functioning well for the next 25 or 30 years

So I would "ask the expert", your eye doctor which method has the greater success rate, which will work longer, what happens and what's available if whatever you choose doesn't work or doesn't work well

If it was my "vision" in question I wouldn't be asking the question on a forum like this
