You are eligible for Lasik if your power has not gone up in the previous year. Most likely your full number will be removed with Lasik. When you go for a check up stop wearing your contact lenses for a few days for a more accurate check up. Maskatieyeclinic Opposite Charni road station east, Mumbai

Your power is likely to be corrected by lasik depending upon the thickness of your cornea. So please visit a lasik  centre or surgeon. They will perform certain tests and then will decide the prognosis.
