Can laser eye surgery be used to reduce your prescription?

Can laser eye surgery be used to reduce your prescription?
I have been told that my vision is unfortunately too bad (+8 and +10 D European contact lense strength) to be corrected by laser surgery.

I am therefore wondering if it is possible to get laser surgery to just improve my eyes and reduce my prescription to a more normal level. Has anyone out there done this? Hardly any contact manufacturers make lenses this high in strength and I’m scared that someday I won’t be able to find any. Also, I don’t like wearing glasses as they magnify my eyes so much and people comment about it!

I have been told about the possibility of lense implants but this scares me! Do the implants degrade over time?

Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Thanks David! I feel much happier now!

Those are high prescriptions. I think the chance of contacts not being available lasikose powers in the future is very low. You could have LASIK to reduce your prescription but it would not be to the level where you could function without glasses or contacts. Your glasses prescription would still be high enough to make your glasses unattractive. It is generally more complicated to fit contacts on eyes that have had surgery. If you are wearing contacts successfully, you should continue to do that. Be aware of new advancements in refractive surgery. I think you do not need to worry about being forced back into glasses.
