Alternatives to lasik

Question

Asked for Female, 26 Years

I have near sightedness with an approximate power of -4 in both eyes. Sometimes I cannot wear spectacles, and I try wearing contact lenses, but they make my eyes very dry and triggers a headache. I heard that LASIK surgery is not recommended for people with dry eyes, and also if power is steadily increasing (my power increased -0.5 in the last 6 months). Are there any other alternatives?
