Hi, You'll need to wait for 2-3 more years, till your glass power stabilizes. After that you can visit your local ophthalmologist who will do a couple of tests and then advise what kind of refractive surgery is apt for you.  Till then you can use glasses or contact lenses , as per your convenience.
