Hi
Lasik can be done as per the thickness part provided other things are normal as well.
There are increased incidence of certain conditions in high myopia, but still that incidence is very low. Do regular checks and be vigilant about those signs . Any eye doctor should brief you.
Rest, no one can predict future, do not stress.

And before planning for the Lasik etc , we do examine retina and everything thoroughly .
