Hi !
Laser treatment for eye power correction should be done usually after the growing age (18-21) and when power of your glass is almost stabilised.It can correct upto -6.00 in a predictable manner.
You are 21 ok.
If your glass power is almost constant for last one or one and half year , you can plan for such corrective treatment with laser.
Other technical points your treating surgeon will look for such as he will measure your corneal thickness by simple test of patchymetry.
Usual treatment cost in India is about 30-35 thousands.But with blade less fematosecond laser it is more upto 80-90 thousands.for power upto -6.00 both give good results.for more than -6.00 later may be better.
