Very high power with burning in eyes
My power is left sph: -8.25 & cyl: 1.25
Right sph: -7.25 & cyl: -1.25
Sometimes I feel burning & dryness in eyes. Lasik surgery has been denied after the test. Can't I do anything to improve my eyesight? Is it to normal to have such a high power? I feel really conscious about it. I haven't heard about such a high power. Please guide or provide mentorship. Thank you so much. Looking forward for the response.

Consult Ophthalmologist once in 6 months to assess whether your power is progressing or stable. Continue glasses and get complete Retina examination once in a year to prevent further complications .No need to worry follow the proper precautions.
