I will never advise you for LASIK for such a small power, because there are lots of advantage after 40yrs if your power is around -2 d . Your power is equivalent to -1.25 D spherical because spherical power is half of cylindrical power . Lasik is not covered under medical insurance because it comes under cosmetic surgery .
