Wear glasses, or CL: The shape of the eye basically reflects in the refractive error present ; you are fairly near sighted.It's easy to correct with glasses and contact lens.Surgically, you'd can have refractive laser done to change the shape of your cornea to reflect on the retina similarly to what cl/glasses do.So, start with a qualified general ophthalmologist, who can examine your eyes ; discuss options available.
