My eye power is -9 and -10 and still increasing. Which LASIK surgery would be the best option for me given my high prescription? I'm a bit worried about stability since my vision keeps changing.

Please wait till your glass number stabilizes. After that you can meet with your local cornea specialist who will do a couple of tests and then advise which refractive surgery is best suited for you

My right eye has SPH 13.0, CYL 2.0, and AXIS 170, while my left eye has SPH 7.5, CYL 1.5, and AXIS 175. I currently wear glasses but I'm considering LASIK surgery would I be a good candidate for it with these numbers? I'm a bit worried about the high SPH in my right eye and how that might affect the results.

Yes ICL is the best option option before you. Or You may use contact lenses. You must not use specs
