Hello
I have read your problem .
The patient must be evaluated properly .
She has myopia but important thing is that it is pathological or not , means associated with retina problem.
If retina is normal and corneal thickness is normal then go for LASIK surgery.
If cataract is present then cataract extraction can be done.
I think concerned eye can improve.
Good luck.
