A member asked:
Can eyesight be improved? can power be reduced without lasik?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Improved - yes: If your eyes are normal except for a need for eyeglasses, then the eyesight can be perfect with the right correction. LASIK substitutes for the glasses and allows usually perfect vision without glasses. There is no way to "naturally" reduce the eyeglass need by exercises or various pills.
