If your pre LASIK work up parameters are WNL, you can definitely go for LASIK provided your power is stable for some time.

Firstly your glass number has to be stable for 1 year. You can consult local cornea specialist who will do a couple of tests and then advise what kind of refractive surgery is appropriate for you.
