I'm 21 male and have a poor vision. Here it is:
VOD: sph -8.00 cyl -4.75 ax 4
VOS: sph -5.00 cyl -4.75 ax 173
I'm wearing RGP lenses. I tolerate them but my vision is not very satisfying.Please tell me if LASIK will be suitable for me. May be my astigmatism is too high? Thanx in advance.

Based on the info you provided, all I can say is that we can and have treated prescriptions like yours without difficulty. More importantly, a number of other factors will determine your level of candidacy, namely our pupil size, corneal thickness, corneal curvature, and topography. Of course a thorough evaluation is always necessary to truly determine candidacy. Please be aware that you may need to leave out your RGP lenses for at least 3-4 weeks or more to get accurate readings on your eyes.
Hope that helps.

I agree with Dr Chin. In addition you have a
higher chance of needing an enhancement.
