A member asked:

Can myopia improve? went to new optometrist have new glasses with l-.5 r-2, vision problems. before l-1 r-3, never vision problems or lot of headaches

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely : Once diagnosed with myopia you will likely need corrective lenses permanently. Of course you can possible get laser surgery done to correct the myopia but you will need to speak to an eye doctor.
