I had LASIK done a while back but I lost all the records from the procedure. If I need cataract surgery later on, will not having those LASIK details cause problems for my vision or eye health?

LASIK history helps in planning cataract surgery later but not always mandatory.Special imaging and intraocular lens selection may still allow safe surgery.

is it possible to correct my 1.75 eye power without surgery since I'm only 17 years old
Yes, it is possible to correct a 1.75 diopter (1.75 eye power) without surgery, even at your age. While the most common and permanent solution for vision correction is surgery (like LASIK), there are other options available, including eyeglasses, contact lenses, and even certain treatments that can help slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness), which is a common cause of needing glasses or contacts. Since you're 17, your eyes may still be developing, and it's worth exploring all options with an eye doctor
