While your eye prescription suggests a high amount of both cylindrical and spherical power, and your cornea thickness is within the acceptable range for LASIK, your right eye's difficulty with reading even with glasses could indicate other factors that might make you ineligible for LASIK. Consulting with an ophthalmologist is crucial to determine your eligibility
