Hello
It seems from the history that you are having hypermetropia of .75 dioptres.
You can undergo LASIK and this power can be corrected.
The left eye will remain normal and the surgery for right eye will not affect left eye.
The only problem you can have is dry eye following LASIK.
Since you are a computer professional this problem can affect you hence do get evaluation done before undergoing LASIK.
Thank you
