Hello
A. I am sorry but there is no medicine to stop progression of myopia.
This will become stable at age of 18-21 yrs by itself
B. Haloes around headlights could be due to other causes like dryness etc
I would recommend you to consult local ophthalmologist and get proper eye examination
C.lasik cost depends on type of LASIK and it varies from place to place
LASIK is quite safe process
Side effects range from minor to major
For more information,you can read my health tip on LASIK available on practo healthfeed

You are not eligible for lasik at present.
Your number is likely to increase for next 3to4 years. But by using contact lens you may decrease the progress..
So contact lenses are advised for next3to4 yrs
