Brief Answer:
LASIK surgery

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir, report is suggestive of astigmatism which won't get cured fully ever.
It can only increase with growing age or stay stable.
The best you can do is to get a LASIK surgery done which will cure it and thus relieve you from the burden of specs.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
stable vision is impirtant pre requisite

Detailed Answer:
LASIK is a micro surgery performed on cornea with the help of microkeratome ( blade ) or laser.
LASIK is done in patients with astigmatism with or without myopia or hypermetropia.
Stable vision is very important pre requisite for LASIK .
Since you have unstable vision which can be caused by abnormalities in cornea such as keratoconus or keratoglobus , you should undergo proper evaluation at a centre near you which is well versed with LASIK .
LASIK is a oprative procedure with very rare failure rate of less than 0.1%.
LASIK with ladrr is considered better than blade as there is no formation of corneal flap.

Brief Answer:
Need clinical examination

Detailed Answer:
Hello,to make your vision stable you should be wearing your prescribed spectacles almost all the time , avoid watching tv, laptop or desktop from very near range. Try to give your eyes some rest in middle of strainous work. I will also advise you to visit an ophthalmologist and get slit lamp examination and keratometry after undergoing full clinical examination to rule out keratoconus or keratogloblobus which are common causes of unstable vision . All the best for future. take Care. Dr Manisha Jain
