See eye doc: That is a pretty thin cornea and a pretty high correction. You will want to discuss witha lasik surgeon that can make a laser flap to see if you are a good candidate. Doubtful. May want to consider clear lens extraction.

Not a good idea: Your corneas are too thin for the amount of myopia you have. Depending on your age, either a phakic lens implant or clear lens extraction would be a better option.
