Hi, since you are still 22, we need to rule out a condition called keratoconus. If you have this issue, then it has to be treated first.
Next Steps
Please get a pentacam topography and meet a specialised refractive surgeon for what may need to be done further
Health Tips
Please avoid eye rubbing

Hello, It is difficult for you to undergo Lasik at this corneal curvature. However, physically get in touch with an ophthalmologist for detailed evaluation
