Are you minus or plus? This will dictate your surgical options. Contacts and glasses are also an option.

Glasses or contacts or Lasik or corneal refractive therapy, which involves sleeping with contacts at night to correct your vision during the day.
Forms of treatment for this would be obviously glasses and/or contact lenses. Other considerations would be orthokeratology, PRK, LASIK, and even clear lens exchange (essentially cataract surgery) if you aren't a candidate for the other two surgical options (depending on your corneal structure). There are many considerations when determining what's best for you, including age, overall health, activities, what you do for work, and the level of dryness of your eyes.
Good luck in your search.

There are three options available to correct refractive error: spectacle lens correction, contact lenses, or refractive eye surgery.
Yes it can be treated easily by laser refractive surgeries like LASIK. This surgery causes no pain and is totally safe. Consult your health care provider for more explanation.
LASIK
Your treatment options are glasses, contacts, or refractive surgery (such as LASIK).

Outside of the obvious glasses and contact lenses, you are also a potential candidate for laser refractive correction, i.e., LASIK or PRK. Your local eye doctor can direct you to the best option based on your visual needs and interest in being visually independent of glasses or contact lenses.

Yes, it can be easily corrected with both glasses and contact lenses.
Depending on the health of the rest of your eye, you can look into contact lenses. Or if CL are not your speed, you can consider refractive surgery to attempt to fully correct your vision.
