A member asked:

What are the best eye exercises for nearsightedness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

None: There is no way to correct nearsightedness or farsightedness with any exercises. People who claim they help are trying to sell you something. Your optometrist or ophthalmologist can help you with things that do work. (glasses, contacts, lasik, etc).
