Regarding eye power
My power is -3.5D and -1 (cylindrical) in both eyes. My concern is that from now I'll have to work more on computer. So will it increase my eye power? How to make it stable?
Also can I opt for Lasik surgery?

Hello
A. You have moderate myopia. Myopia usually progresses till age of 21 years.as you are already 22 , so myopia won't increase now.
B. Working on screen causes dryness. It won't increase your power much.however try to reduce screen time.
C. Regarding lasik.... consult local ophthalmologist and he/she will perform few tests to evaluate corneal thickness and topography.
If everything is okay then lasik can be done

Excessive computer work without break may cause eye strain and itching which may cause you to rub your eyes which may cause your cylinder to increase or fluctuate.
Kindly get an online consultation to address all your concerns
