Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are having refractive error of -3.5 myopia and the refractive error is constant without any change from last two years.
You can undergo LASIK surgery. But you need to undergo evaluation as you have mentioned about dryness and LASIK surgery is known to cause dryness hence I advice you to undergo consultation with ophthalmologist before under going LASIK surgery to prevent dryness of the eyes following surgery.

Thank you
