Hello
It seems from the history that you are having refractive error in the form of myopia of -4.0 dioptres.
You can undergo lasik and lasik will correct the myopia. Lasik can correct upto -10 dioptres of myopia.
The prerequisites to undergo myopia are age more than 21 years, stable refraction for 1 year and adequate corneal thickness. Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
