Hi... You dont have severe sight problem. It is low myopia, and lasik can be done to remove this number. If all the other criteria is ok. There is no age limit for lasik surgery. But when you are 40 plus, you will require reading glasses , so the time you are totally glasses free is less when you do it late. You need proper counselling to understand all the aspects ..and then go ahead .
