Very high myopic number

2017-10-19 07:57:02
I have -9 power with slightly more power of right eye. Since the glasses are very heavy and thick, these make me more uncomfortable and I don't feel confident in daily life. Practically I am blind w/o specs. I am not sure if LASIK surgery is going to help me!
