my right eye has a minor retinal detachment seen on OCT and fluorescence angiography causing some blurry vision is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other options

Small retinal detachments may be treated with laser or observation; surgery is advised if symptoms worsen or fluid spreads.

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?

refractory corrections and visual acuity tests are advised.
