View allI 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.

my corneal thickness is 475 in the right eye and 485 in the left eye with a minus 9 power. i'm considering lasik surgery but i'm not sure if my cornea is thick enough for it. can you advise if it's possible in my case?
While a corneal thickness of 475-485 microns in each eye with a -9 diopter prescription might seem borderline for LASIK, it's crucial to understand that corneal thickness is only one factor in determining LASIK suitability. A comprehensive eye exam is needed to assess your overall eye health and the specific needs of your vision correction

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
