Hello
LASIK is a refractive laser surgery which corrects myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism.
LASIK can correct upto 4 dioptres of astigmatism and since you are having 2.25 dioptres of astigmatism LASIK will be able to correct this.

For undergoing LASIK, the minimum age is 21 years with stable refractive error for atleast 1 year without any change.
Since you are having stable refractive error for last 2 years and if your age is more than 21 you can undergo the procedure.

Thank you
