Generally speaking LASIK works up to -8 diopters. Not more.

The only person who could determine this is an ophthalmologist/eye MD after a full exam including corneal examination.  You will be better off getting an opinion from one who doesn't perform these himself so that they are fully objective.  Find one near you at www.aao.org.
