i had high myopia -8 just got my lasik done i am happy got perfect vision now thanks to my doc! its a simple 10 min procedure where the laser is used to change the shape[curvature] of a tiny part of the cornea, once the correct curvature is achieved the light focuses correctly on the retina and one can see perfect normal vision, i was told i may have dryness for several months but i was okay dint have any dryness. http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.

Laser treatment for myopia reshapes the cornea. Although there are now new advances in this field, I don't think refractive or laser eye surgery is for you (or maybe enough) because of your very high degree.You may want to ask your ophthalmologist regarding Clear Lens Extraction (also called Refractive Lens Exchange).
