I was a -7.00 with astigmatism in both eyes. I had Lasik five weeks ago and now am 20/20 with no astigmatism.
Astigmatism means that your cornea is not exactly symmetrical, it bulges in one area. If you have enough corneal thickness, an astigmatism can be corrected. The only way to tell is to have the evaluation done on your eyes.
With a -1.5 prescription, most likely you will have no problems. Check with an experienced Lasik surgeon to have your specific case evaluated!!
Before you have surgery, you will need to wear your glasses (no contacts) for a minimum of 3 weeks.
