Hello
It seems from the history that you are having refractive power of 1.25 in both the eyes.
The treatment options are by use of spectacles or by contact lenses.
The only treatment to reduce the eye power is by refractive laser surgery and this can be done only after you cross the age of 21 years. Since you are 18 years old now, you have to wait for another 3 years before you can go for refractive laser surgery like LASIK.
Thank you
