Myopia: Or nearsightedness, is one of the types of refractive errors that affect vision. You have a very mild degree of myopia. This does not go away spontaneously. In fact, people will sometimes develop more myopia as time passes. If your myopia remains at this level, i would not recommend lasik to correct this.
