I'm currently using cylindrical glasses with a power of 2.75 in my left eye and 1.25 in the right. Is there any surgery that can fix this issue permanently so I don't need glasses anymore?

Yes, there are surgical options like LASIK or SMILE that can correct cylindrical power (astigmatism) and reduce or eliminate the need for glasses. A detailed corneal mapping and eye evaluation by an ophthalmologist is necessary to determine if you're a suitable candidate.
