Some advice on how this works would be great.

My contact lens prescription is -5.00 and -4.50, and I see very well with my lenses. However, my glasses prescription is stronger at -5.50 and -5.00, but I actually find my vision blurry and feel like I’m undercorrected when wearing them.

My autorefractor and cycloplegic refraction both showed -5.25 and -4.50.

For anyone who has been through SMILE or knows about this, which prescription would typically be used to determine the target for surgery? And if they used -5.25 and -4.50 as the target, could that affect my final visual result considering my glasses is stronger than this and my vision seems poor

Need some advice on my surgery from anyone who’s been in a similar position.
