You can opt for lasik once you are past 18years and your refraction is stable for atleast a year. till then it will keep on increasing as you grow , your eyes also grow
if you have too much increase in power ,u can consult ophthalmologist for same , they may give you medical trt for pathological n progressive myopia

You are 16 years old and lasik is not an option till you are above 18 and your number is stable for atleast a year. In the mean time best way to control your number is via taking myopia control therapy (s) . See a pediatric ophthalmologist.
