Hello
It seems from the history that you are having steep corneas probably keratoconus or corneal ectasia and you are having high refractive error in the form of high myopia of -6 dioptres.
The corneal steepness make you not eligible to undergo LASIK surgery. Since the anterior chamber depth is 3 mm you can go for implantable contact lenses called as ICL lenses.
Thank you
