A member asked:
Can aspheric eyeglass lenses help nearsighted people?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aspheric glasses: Aspheric glasses may minimize induction of aberrations in nearsighted people but usually not to a clinically significant degree. That being said you are better off spending your money on high index glass to minimize the thickness and weight of your glasses. Contact lenses are also a very good option.
