Regression after LASIK is rare but possible with age or eye strain; annual checkups are advised to detect early changes and prevent complications.

My vision is 69 with 0.75 power in both eyes and I'm considering LASIK or PRK surgery. I need to reach at least 66 vision without glasses is it safe to go for the procedure with my current prescription? Just worried if my power is too low for surgery to be effective.

Low myopia (0.75D) is suitable for LASIK/PRK;with proper screening,you can expect to achieve vision 6/6 safely.

my right eye vision is 6/18 can it improve to normal naturally without glasses or surgery

A 6/18 vision (also known as 20/60) is considered significantly impaired, and it's unlikely to improve to normal (6/6 or 20/20) vision naturally without glasses or surgery. While certain practices can improve vision-related skills and reduce strain, they cannot alter the underlying refractive error causing the blurry vision.
