Options:: You could have a partial lasik or prk correction which would make you comfortably near sighted at a level useful without glasses for near and requiring ordinary glasses or contacts for far. Some are doing intraocular lenses to correct higher refractive numbers but this is invasive and does carry a higher risk. Check with your ophthalmologist or a lasik surgeon for details.
