A member asked:
Is there anyway to lower one's eye degrees for myopia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The most popular treatment for myopia is lasik, during which an excimer laser reshapes the cornea. Other options include surgically placing miniature lenses inside of the eye to correct the refractive error. If you are not interested in surgery then glasses or contacts lenses are used to correct myopia.
