Can I achieve +6 diopter with glasses if I am currently +6.5 so that I can get LASIK?

Hello! I'm 25 years old, was born farsighted and currently wearing +4.5 diopter eyeglasses. Lately I was suffering from various symptoms due to long hours of reading (fatigue, eye become tired after 40 min of reading). I visited an eye specialist who checked me by using cycloplegia drops, and he found out a latent +6.5 diopter. My question is, should I aim for about +6 diopter glasses, and only then when my eyes are "zerod in" should I consider LASIK? Thanks you, Alon
