The best option available when I started looking into this a year ago was ReLEx SMILE(Trans PRK being second, LASIK third). I have since had the procedure done (see my other comment in this thread for my experience but TL;DR is I highly recommend it).

From what I remember LASIK is the oldest method with the highest chance of complications and side-effects and longest recovery period.

Trans PRK is the least-intrusive procedure because they don't touch your eye during the procedure but is more painful after the procedure and you have to wear protective contacts for 2 weeks.

ReLEx SMILE is 'latest and greatest' and has the quickest recovery period but is the most expensive option.

Thanks to both for the info! Will do some more research now.
