A member asked:
Is it possible for my nearsightedness to go away i have prescribed glasses only from far. anyway to correct my vision without lasik do exercises work?

Not by itself: It is usual for those who are nearsighted to need glasses mostly for distance and not for near. Exercises will not work as a nearsighted eye is optically too strong and exercises would only make it stronger and increase the nearsightedness. LASIK is pretty terrific when you reach the proper ago (usually around 23). Meanwhile you can try contact lenses.
