Since i am high myope, is hypothyroidism going to make my myopia worst? wat are the risks of lasek or iol treatment wit being hypothyroid in future?

Don't worry about: Any of these things being affected. Instead, get your doctor to prescribe the proper amount of brand name T4 replacement to get your thyroid levels normal; then you don't have hypothyroidism.
