I'm getting LASIK surgery at AIIMS Delhi in July for astigmatism, but I'm worried about human error in the prescription. Since refraction tests are subjective, how do surgeons make sure they program the machine exactly right? What if my astigmatism axis or power is slightly off on surgery day? Do they recheck my eye power right before the procedure to avoid mistakes?

I'm 17 with a -20 diopter prescription and really want to ditch glasses for good. Is LASIK an option for me or are there other permanent vision correction surgeries that would work better for my high prescription? I'm worried my eyes might be too bad for regular laser surgery

You'll need to wait for 2-3 more years, till your glass power stabilizes. After that you can visit your local ophthalmologist who will do a couple of tests and then advise what kind of refractive surgery is apt for you. Till then you can use glasses or contact lenses , as per your convenience.
