Hello
It seems from the history that you are having myopic astigmatism.
Myopic astigmatism can be corrected by refractive laser surgery. Refractive laser surgery can correct up to -10 diopters of spherical error and -6 dioptres of cylindrical power.
Since your refractive error comes within this range this can be corrected by refractive laser surgery.
Thank you
