I can't even put contacts in my eyes. I tried it but just couldn't.

Really very depressed these days for my eye condition. The depression is now affecting my day to day life so much. Its also hugely affecting my self confidence. I am really tired of carrying glasses all the time on my face. Have spot on nose due to continuous wearing of glasses. 

I absolutely hate wearing glasses all the time but seems like I have no more choice. Doing operation is like gambling with eyes. Anything can happen even years after the operation. Its not safe. When it comes to eyes no body should take even 1 % chance but the Lasik industry is saying they are damaging 5% eyes only ! The person who was the chief of the FDA team which approved lasik devices is now saying FDA did a huge mistake to approve it. Pioneering Taiwanese lasik surgeon just stopped doing more lasik operation to prevent epidemic of eye injury in long term. Once you get Ectasia due to weak and thin cornea after lasik the only solution is corneal transplant. This is a huge risk and this is the only fact which is keeping me away from getting Lasik.

That's cherry picking the bad points and convincing yourself not to do it. You'll really need to look into the credibility behind the mention of these points, and proceed to judge whether it's at a risk level you can manage. My point is, it is quite obvious that your judgement is not free from significant bias, as you have not weighed the factors properly and rationally.

Although this site is a little more biased towards discrediting lasik, it is a good source for relevant articles and publications highlighting the actual seriousness of associated risks, that your doctor would hide from you.

I have 1100 power on both eyes, is it possible to undergo lasik treatment?

I think those exceeding 1000 per eye potentially need to opt for Phakik ICL.

Jialat is that right?
