high myopia and weight lifting

[ninjal]

I have a very high myopia in both the eyes since birth
My eye power is -22 in both the eyes
I have just joined the gym and I wanted to do some weight training along with cardio exercises
plz advice me to what extent i should lift weight
is there any harm in lifting weights up to 10 to 15 pounds..

You need to be under the care of an ophthalmologist and ask him/her that but usually those activities are not a problem.

Is lasic surgery advisable for such a high eye power

It will not correct all your refractive error but might cut the RX in half.
