I'm wondering how to cure nearsightedness(myopi) without surgery?

Not a cure but: Laser vision correction surgery is the only proven way to "cure" myopia. However, in selected patients, specially fitted contact lenses can be used to reduce your myopia so that you can see without glasses. This is called orthokeratology. Retainer contacts are required to maintain the effect. There are optometrists who employ this technique.
