Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having myopia with astigmatism.
This can be corrected by laser refractive surgeries in the form of LASIK.
LASIK can be done after the refractive error is stabilized without any increase in the refractive power and it occurs after 21 years.
You can undergo the surgery. It is one of the safest and effective way of correction of refractive error. With proper evaluation there are no vision threatening complications.
Lasik surgery is done by laser only and there are different sub types like epilasik, intralase lasik, smile lasik....

Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and lasik surgery.

Hope this information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
