Do you have an option for eye surgery?

I did it with -8/9 R/L and they sit at -0.5/1 diopter now nine years post LASIK. Best decision I've ever made.

I've seen videos of eye surgery, no thank you I'm happy with my glasses and contact lenses

I've seen videos too. LASIK with double laser is the least intrusive. Pop a Xanax and fifteen minutes later it's over.

I was enjoying the light show a lot. Very interesting experience and would do it again in a heartbeat if needed.

The other issue is I'm pretty sure it's hugely expensive isn't it?

It's also not risk free. There are tons of YouTube videos talking about people's bad experiences with it including possible side effects, some of which are a dealbreaker for me like a mouse cursor having starbursts. No thank you, I will take my glasses over that. I'd never opt for eye surgery unless medically necessary.
