Hi Deepa,looking at your minus power you are a case of high myopia.Three things can be done in your case to get rid of glasses.First you can wear a contact lens,second you can undergo LASIK or laser treatment of your eyes if you have sufficient corneal thickness to aboard and correct your power and third is you can undergo phakic IOL implantation ,that is toric ICL that is intra collamer lens where an IOL is placed above your own lens to correct the power.Before doing any of this procedures you have to do a corneal topography,pachymetry,endothelial count,ACD,WTW distance etc which may help the surgeon in deciding the procedure. Before undergoing any of the corrective procedure do a dilated fundus examination to rule out any break in the retina like lattice or holes
as you are giving a h/o of floaters.If present you may have to undergo barrage laser of retina first and then the corrective procedure for your high power....TC...Dr Ajay Shankar Kar
