I have a power of 9 with slightly stronger vision in my right eye. My glasses are really heavy and thick, making me uncomfortable and less confident in daily life practically blind without them. I'm unsure if LASIK surgery would even help my case. What options do I have to improve my vision without relying on such heavy glasses?

I had squint surgery in both eyes a year ago but still notice some residual squint sometimes I also have astigmatism and have worn glasses since childhood - my right eye has CYL 1 axis 10 and left eye CYL 2 axis 160 Can LASIK fix my astigmatism completely and would it help correct the remaining squint issues too I'm 26 and really want to properly address both problems

LASIK surgery can effectively address astigmatism, including your specific CYL 1 axis 10 and CYL 2 axis 160 values. However, LASIK does not correct squint, which is a misalignment of the eyes. Addressing residual squint after surgery will likely require further evaluation and potentially additional surgical adjustments.
