I have a cylindrical power of 4 in my right eye can this be corrected with surgery or are there other ways to reduce it? I'm worried about whether it's even possible to fully get rid of it

Cylindrical number or Astigmatism cannot be corrected naturally. One may be able to avoid glasses alltogether for small numbers but will require wearing glasses or contact lenses to see clearly. Of course Lasik can be performed to get rid of cylindrical number
