Hello
Your best spectacle corrected visual acuity is 6/12 in both eyes which does not validate u as legally blind. You probably have developed lazy eye due to such high number and hence not reaching 6/6 vision. Having said that do get a thorough evaluation done by an ophthalmologist n retina examination preferrably by a retina specialist . Nothing can be done to prevent further progression of number . U can opt for ICL to reduce spectacle dependency.

Your cva is 6/12 so you are not considered impaired . Frankly speaking there is nothing you can do to prevent it going further. If it remained constant for 2 years that's a good sign . Get a retinal evaluation and I would suggest you to go to ICL if you are considered eligible rather than LASIK.
